Meet Animal In Need’s rescued animals at its open day at Northamptonshire farm this Sunday

The charity is holding the event at its animal sanctuary at Nearton Farm near Guilsborough on Sunday August 2, between 12pm and 4pm. Along with a fun dog show the event will include stalls, refreshments, a bouncy castle, fun train and games.

There will also be the chance to look around the farm and meet some of its residents, including ponies, pigs, sheep, alpaca, turkeys and goats.

The charity’s last open day proved a huge success, attracting hundreds of animal lovers and raising more than £7,000 for the charity.

Animals in Need moved to Nearton Farm at the end of last year as it provided more space than its sister site in Irchester. The farm was donated by long-time supporter June Barrett after the death of her partner, Sharon, who ran an animal sanctuary on the site for decades.

At the time Animals in Need co-founder and sanctuary manager Annie Marriott said: “It’s absolutely perfect. It’s 23 acres of pasture and the animals are so much happier over there. It’s quieter, and the views over the reservoir are beautiful. I’m so grateful we can give them the best lives possible.”

The original rescue centre in Irchester remains open and continues to care for hundreds of animals too.
