National Conservation Zoo

Opening times today: 10am - 4pm (Last entry at 3pm)

A Victorian style sweet shop

Named after the zoo’s founder, George Mottershead, this sweet shop has been inspired by the heritage of Chester Zoo and The Oakfield, once home to the Mottershead family. 

George started out his career by owning and running his own store, serving the local community. So we wanted to pay homage to George by naming this shop after him.

Located opposite the new lawn area at The Oakfield – perfect to pop in when picnicking.
