With the summer holidays just starting, it can be daunting working out how to keep the family entertained for six weeks.

Arriva Bus are running a service connecting Leicester, Hinkley, Nuneaton, Ashby, Coalville, Litchfield and Tamworth to Twycross Zoo, running services from Monday to Saturday.

The service also offers opportunities for savings, with travel free when you buy your entry to the zoo, costing £31.95 for adults (16+) and £23.95 for children.

The TZ3 service will run from 11 July to 21 August, picking up from Memorial Square in Coalville, Ashby Market Street and Measham Church.
