It's Open Day! Sunday 19th July, 11.00am util 3.00pm.
Who will ever forget Marco the Clown from Open Day 2004? Entertaining the children and terrifying the adults. Marco will be with us again this year but do not let that put you off from attending. We will have lots and lots of other exciting displays. Horses, ponies, dog training, refreshments and all the usual stuff.
If you have never visited us, or maybe you have thought about becoming involved, this a wonderful opportunity to come along and see the sort of activities that take place here.
