DUDLEY Zoo will close on Friday when Storm Eunice is set to sweep the country.
The zoo will close on Friday February 18 for animal and public safety when the storm is expected to hit.
The Castle Hill attraction is planned to be open as normal over the weekend, but visitors are urged to check the zoo’s website and social media for updates.
Zoo Manager Matt Lewis said: “We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause, but with a weather warning in place, we have to be sensible and the safety of our animals, staff and visitors is our top priority.
“We plan to be open as normal today and this weekend, but please keep an eye on the zoo’s website and social media for further updates.”
