 ARE YOU AFRAID OF SPIDERS?

Our new Arachnophobia Workshop here at Dudley Zoological Gardens will help people to conquer their fear of spiders by discovering the truth and reality about these harmless creatures.

We will be hosting a 3 hour group workshop with our own Spider expert on Saturday 7th February 2009 at 10.30am. Price £20 per person which also includes Zoo admission.

The workshop will be a relaxed informal discussion & education session without the use of hypnosis.

For members of the group who feel comfortable at the end of the session we will introduce some different species of spiders.

We look forward to welcoming you to our new workshop.

If you require any further details please contact us on 01384 215313.
