Summer Open Day Success

On Sunday we held our annual summer open day and what a great success it was. We saw over 1,000 visitors come through the gates of the sanctuary, normally closed to the public. On the day we raised £4,000 vital funds needed to keep our voluntary charity running.

Although the doors officially opened at 11am, there was a steady queue forming by 10:30 and people were still around at 5pm, even though the bar had sold out by 3pm and Veggies the vegan caterers sold out not much later.
