'We Bought a Zoo' gets regional premiere in Plymouth

The Hollywood film based on the story of a family who bought and saved Dartmoor zoo gets its premiere in Plymouth tonight.

'We Bought a zoo' stars Matt Damon and Scarlett Johansson and will be aired at Vue cinema tonight.

The film's based on the story of Benjamin Mee who bought the Sparkwell site and with the help of his family brought it back to its former glory, after it was closed to the public in 2006.

He and his family will attend tonight's premiere, as well as staff from the zoo.

The event's also a chance for staff to thank the local businesses that supported the zoo through difficult times.

It will be released in UK cinemas on Friday 16th March.
