22q at the Zoo Awareness Day

SUNDAY 17TH MAY 2026 BOOKING NOW LIVE

Hosted zoos - Twycross & Five Sisters

22q at the Zoo – Worldwide Awareness Day® launched for the first time on May 22, 2011. It was originally planned as a Philadelphia (USA) event to promote friend raising and awareness. Thanks to families, professionals and other support organizations around the globe this “local” function morphed into a worldwide phenomenon where people gathered at their closet zoo for a day of fun and solidarity sporting our unique 22q at the Zoo T-shirts. While adults socialize, children enjoy the animals,. During all of this fun, teams of volunteers distribute fact sheets informing the public about 22q11.2 Deletion and Duplication Syndromes.

Max Appeal will be contributing to the price of tickets. All tickets are £5 per person,

*Twycross unders 3’s are free.

*Carers are free with the proof of eligibility (DLA/PIP paperwork)
