The town centre went from concrete jungle to actual jungle on Saturday when shoppers got up close and personal with some exotic wildlife.

Among the animals on show were furless guinea pigs, Pandora the baby albino python, a bullfrog and Charlotte the tarantula.

Town centre manager Sharon Clarke said: “Some children don’t like shopping but hopefully this will encourage them to come back into town and get excited.”
