Visitors to Maidstone Museum are being offered the fantastic opportunity of winning an overnight experience for two at the Big Cat Sanctuary.
The Big Cat Safari Experience prize (which includes afternoon tea, a three-course meal and full English breakfast for two people), is being offered through an exclusive raffle which is open to all visitors to the Museum until 1 September. It is being held as part of the Endangered and Extinct Exhibition, and the lucky winner will have the chance to get up-close and personal with the big cats inhabited there for the cost of a £2 raffle ticket for people taking part in the exhibition, or £3 for other Museum visitors.
Endangered and Extinct is a family-friendly exhibition of sculptural animals, birds, fish and flora on the edge of extinction, or totally lost, fashioned with ingenuity, humour and skill by creative recycling artist Val Hunt from throw-away materials. It presents messages about recycling and preservation while raising awareness of the reasons for extinction and the human impact on this planet as species disappear at an alarming rate.
