IT is not every day that you are able to meet a giant tortoise in Warrington.
However, tomorrow, Thursday, you will be able to as Zelva arrives in the town centre at Time Square.
Zelva is the world’s only walking animatronic character of this type, and an encounter with her is described as an ‘experience not to be missed’.
She is accompanied by her tortoise handler, who shows guests how to feed her and engages them with interesting tortoise facts.
Posting on social media, Warrington Market said: “Exciting news, Warrington. Zelva the Giant Tortoise is coming to Time Square.
“Zelva is the world’s only walking animatronic character of this type, and an encounter with her is a singular experience not to be missed.
“Perfect for the whole family, bring your cameras and your curiosity. Join us this Thursday, August 22, and let's shell-ebrate together.”
