DONKEY SANCTUARY
We are delighted that the EST Donkey Sanctuary will be attending. Not only does this Charity rescue and re-home, unwanted, sick or old donkey’s they also offer a fantastic opportunity for disabled children to experience the thrill of riding the donkeys (however, this is not available at the show see their website for further details on this). At the show you will have the chance to stroke, feed and pet the donkeys. In addition, you have the chance to meet the handlers and learn more about the animals and how they are cared for.
PETS CORNER
Perfect for those children (and adults) who love animals. From rabbits to guinea pigs to ferrets and even rats that you can hold, fuss and feed. You and your family can spend hours playing with our furry friends. If you were ever interested in owning a similar pet then our resident experts are on hand to offer practical advice on the "do’s" and "don’ts" of caring for animals.
The animals include some, or all of the following:
Mice, Rats, Rabbits, Guinea Pigs, Ferrets, Chickens, & Ducks The Pets Corner is open daily and the variety of animals vary from show to show.
The Farmer Has Come To Visit............In association with NANNA Animal Rescue
Calling all children (and adults). The farmer has come to the show to do some shopping, and he seems to have company!Cows, Sheep, Donkeys,
Shetland Ponies &
Goats, to name but a few.
The farmer always calls into our show but unfortunately he always brings half the farm with him. He often needs people to play with his animals while he is shopping which can be anything from feeding to stroking, and cuddling to brushing. The farmer is always grateful for all the help he can get. This is a unique opportunity to handle and learn about animals that you don’t find curled up in front of the fire at home. Please don’t forget to wash your hands afterwards.
KIDS ZONE
The 'Kids Zone' does exactly what it says in the title. It's fun and it’s for the kids. The activities include: Children’s Quad Bikes, Bouncy Castles, Inflatable Slides, Face Painting, Giant Board Games, and a Children’s Refreshments Bar that offers a healthy alternative to the normal fizzy pop. All of the activities have plenty of staff and many of the instructors are first aid qualified, all helping to create a friendly safe environment that you will have confidence in.
Other child friendly activities include - Make 'N' Take Area, Make 'N' Bake Area and Pedro’s Travelling Show. Further details of these activities can be found by exploring the links on the left hand side of this page.
This area is located very near the main refreshments area allowing you the opportunity to grab a drink, something to eat and relax while keeping a watchful eye on your youngsters as they run off some of their excess energy! Alternatively, Dad can grab a pint from the bar nearby, and just lay in the sunshine watching the children as Mum shops until her heart's content.
