THE butterfly house in Victoria Park in Widnes has attracted 7,500 visitors since it re-opened in May.

This week is your last chance to see a range of exotic species before it closes for the winter.

A new deluxe batch of butterflies will be on display from 10.30am to 2.30pm, Thursday, September 25 to Sunday, September 28.

The project received funding from Community First Fund and Awards for All but volunteers now need to raise money to keep the house open.

It costs around £2,000 to buy the butterflies alone.
