Special Guest Mickey Mouse to Visit Horse Charity

Remus Horse Sanctuary will be opening its gates to visitors on Sunday 7 August from 1pm to 5pm for one of its summer Open Days. Visitors will be able to meet special guest Mickey Mouse, who will be visiting the charity during the afternoon.

The Sanctuary at Little Farm, Buttsbury, near Ingatestone, offers free parking on-site, with disabled access. Admission will be charged at just £5 per adult and £3 for children. Cream Teas can be booked in advance for £12 per person, including entry. Dogs are welcome on a lead.

The events at the Sanctuary are always fun and interesting for the whole family, with a children’s entertainer, facepainting, live music, delicious refreshments, lots of stalls, a tombola and a raffle.

The Sanctuary provides rehabilitation and care for around 200 animals, including horses, ponies, donkeys, goats, sheep and cats, and has been doing so since it was founded in 1983.

The Open Days are a vital source of fundraising for the charity which, due to its location on greenbelt land, can only open to the public for a limited number of days each year.

Founder, Sue Burton, said: “We love inviting visitors to the Sanctuary during the summer. It gives us opportunity to share the vital work that we do here in terms of both rescue and rehabilitation.”
