Fans of the CBeebies favourites Bing and Flop will soon be able to meet them at a special event running at Chester Zoo. A Bing activity trail has been launched and from next week there will be storytime sessions and meet and greets with the pair.

The stories will be read in Madagascar Basecamp twice a day from May 15 to 26, where little ones can meet the characters. Families can also enjoy a self-guided Bing trail, which is running from now until May 26, and involves completing a zookeeper's checklist along the way.

The term-time event is included in the usual ticket price - children £22.72, adults £29.54, under twos and carers free. You can book online on the website.
