Buzz Lightyear to visit Horse Charity in Essex

Visitors to Remus Horse Sanctuary’s final Open Day in October will be able to meet a very special guest! Landing at 2.30pm on Sunday 3 October will be none other than Toy Story space ranger and superhero…Buzz Lightyear!

Members of the public are invited to visit with Buzz and the animals at the Sanctuary from 1pm until 5pm on Sunday 3 October 2021. Please note that Buzz will only be available for photographs and autographs between 2.30-3pm on that day due to a very tight schedule. A magician/entertainer will also be present during the afternoon to entertain the children.

Admission will be charged at £5 for adults and £2 for children and tickets can be purchased securely online via the charity’s website at: www.remussanctuary.org/events/open-day-sanctuary-october or by telephone on: 01277 356191. Advance booking is recommended to secure your place.

Parking is available on-site and disabled parking is available near to the yard. There is also a wheelchair accessible toilet. Dogs are welcome on a lead. Light refreshments will be available throughout the afternoon.

Visitors to the Sanctuary will be encouraged to wear masks in busy areas, to maintain a responsible social distance from each other and to wash their hands or use hand sanitiser regularly throughout the afternoon.

Ms Burton added, “We have been delighted to offer our events in a covid-safe environment so far this year and we have no reason to think that our final Open Day of the season will be any different.

“All activities will continue to take place outside, and we’ll take the necessary precautions to welcome people safely.

“We’ve hosted less than half our normal events for 2021 in order to make sure everyone is kept safe, so along with losing out financially for the whole of 2020, sadly we’re not in a great position. We hope that Buzz Lightyear will encourage people to attend.

“Even if people can’t visit us on the day, we’d love them to send us a donation.”

Donations can be made online via the website at www.remussanctuary.org/donate and further information on the charity is available at www.remussanctuary.org and the charity’s Facebook page.
