Come and celebrate the start of the festive season with us at Thornberry! Our Christmas Fair is a chance to enjoy a day out, browse for gifts and support the animals in our care.
We’ll be bringing together festive stalls, seasonal treats and plenty of Christmas cheer. Whether you’re searching for a present, treating yourself or simply coming along to soak up the atmosphere, we’d love to see you there.
Every visit helps us care for the dogs, cats, horses and other animals who need us. Bring your family and friends, wrap up warm and join us for a lovely day at the sanctuary.
