Find our rocks, win our prizes!
To celebrate our magical new Glow Marwell winter event, we challenged you to find our Glow Marwell painted rocks to win surprise prizes! During October half term, we hid more than 100 rocks both in the zoo and out and about – could they have rocked up in your town?
There were tonnes of goodies up for grabs, from keyrings to soft toys, games, and zoo tickets. Plus, one lucky winner found Glen the Glow zebra hidden at Marwell, and won an invitation to our exclusive Glow Marwell press preview!
Rocks were hidden from Saturday 22 October to 30 October 2022. See T&Cs for more information below.
If you found a rock, please claim it as soon as possible via the form below..
- Find a #GlowMarwellRocks rock!
- If you find more than one while out and about, please only take one so that others can win too.
- Take a photo of your rock and post to social media with the hashtag #GlowMarwellRocks. Make sure you only post the front of your rock and not the unique code on the back.
- Make sure your social post is set to public so that we can see it!
- Visit the URL on the back of the rock (you’re already here!)
