We’re excited to share that our very own animal expert, Chrissy, has been named as a finalist for the Unsung Hero Award at the 2025 Dorset Tourism Awards next month. 🏆

Chrissy’s passion for animals, The Walled Garden and EMA is clear in everything she does. Dedicated to inspiring visitors and students to learn more about the animals we look after here in Moreton – she always goes above and beyond to help the team here on site. Chrissy plays a key role in our events with the animals and dog show, always receiving brilliant feedback from the public, and we’re proud to see her named as a deserving finalist! 👏

We won’t know if Chrissy has won gold, silver or bronze until the awards ceremony on 16th October, but to us she’s already a winner. 💚

Please join us in wishing her the best of luck! 🐾🦎🐐🐛
