Open Day Success

ByJon

Thank you to all of our dedicated volunteers who spent hours helping to prepare for another successful open day. Thank you also to everyone who baked for us, to those who donated prizes, to the stall holders and to everyone who braved the cold to come on the day.

Thank you all, we raised £2,637.02!

Again this Christmas we had stalls at the sanctuary and the Village Hall. The crowds flocked in to buy merchandise, have a dabble on the tombola and raffle and browse along the many stalls.

One of the favorites was seeing Little Freddie in the shadow of Boris Bull, piggies Truffles and Wilbur, Celeste and Laddie, not least Sherlock and Watson the two lambs.

What was your favorite moment?
