Pawsitive Animal Care Spring Fayre

23 March 2025

We're excited to be hosting Pawsitive Animal Care's Spring Dog Fayre!

The event will take place 29 March, from 11am – 3pm.

There will be a dog show, live demonstrations and opportunities to have a go, animal-themed stalls, arts & crafts, and more.


It’s a perfect day out for animal lovers – whether you're entering your dog, enjoying the displays, or exploring the stalls. Plus, by coming along, you’ll be supporting the sanctuary and the care we provide for our donkeys.


During this event day the sanctuary will be open and run as usual, with the exception of a menu change in our café. On 29 March we will have an event day menu, which you can view here.


We hope to see you there!

For any further info and queries, please contact Pawsitive Animal Care.

You can find out more on their Facebook event page.

In late 2022, we started fundraising to establish an equine clinic at the sanctuary. Thanks to your generosity, we raised £125,000 from the initial campaign. This is ringfenced to spend on the Equine Treatment Centre. In the summer of 2023, we paused fundraising and undertook a separate feasibility study, using the generous free support of a civil engineer. We used this opportunity to make sure our build plans were making the very best use of your donations and the funds we had raised. We’ve tweaked the initial plan and have planning permission to undertake a project that will greatly support our high standards of equine welfare. We plan to: Repurpose an existing structure to house the Equine Treatment Centre thus reducing construction costs. Construct an equine rehabilitation barn on the site originally intended for the clinic. Create an isolation barn at the site’s perimeter. This will mean we can provide the very best care for equines needing isolation for medical treatment or observation. We will focus first on building the new barns, then move on to repurposing existing structures into our Equine Treatment Centre. The work cannot start until spring at the earliest, when we hope the ground will have dried out and the machinery will be able to move around the site. We need to make sure our precious paddocks are well looked after while the building work takes place.
