Help us celebrate 25 years of caring
There will be events throughout the year for our Silver Jubilee, we'd love you to join us!
Redwings is 25 years old this year and we’d love you to help us celebrate. To commemorate this amazing milestone in the charity's history we will be holding a programme of events throughout the year and here's just a taste of things to come!
On May 10th we will be holding a Redwings Silver Jubilee Show at the Humberstone Farm Equestrian Centre in Great Yarmouth. There will be show jumping and fun showing classes with loads of great donated prizes and some special rosettes for the best placed Redwings Guardian ponies! Email elacey@redwings.co.uk for entry details or download a schedule.
Then in July it will be time for our Summer Open Weekend at Hapton, this year with some extra special activities, tours and Jubilee-related fun! The dates have been confirmed as July 11th and 12th and we'd love to see you. Find out more information on special events at Hapton.
In August we are also delighted to announce that we will be having a very special Open Day at another of our closed sites, this time at our Hainford site, north of Norwich. It will take place on Sunday August 2nd - keep an eye on the website and we will tell you more details nearer the time.
And if that wasn't enough, on Sunday 11th October there will be a sponsored ride in aid of Redwings at the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk. Watch this space for more info and entry details!
