About this event
World Animal Day falls on 4 October every year, and it is about one simple thing: the animals we share the world with, and the people who look after them. At Fairhill it lands on a Sunday, the final weekend of the spring school holidays, with the King’s Birthday long weekend running straight on behind it. So come and spend it with ours. Fairhill Farmyard Adventures runs through the morning with the Rangers, the guinea pigs hold court at Cuddle Corner, and the Mini Goats Promenade makes its daily walk down to the water. Baby goat cuddles are at 12.30pm in the Kids’ Barn. Carry on down to Turtle Lake afterwards, where the long-necked turtles, the ducks and the water dragons will be having their own day out in the spring sun. The Gardens Café is open all day, and the nursery is there for a stroll before you head home.
