Redwings Caldecott

Redwings Caldecott is our largest visitor centre and is currently home to over 100 horses, ponies, donkeys and mules.

Here you can meet mini but mighty Shetland pony Sampson, plus a whole herd of donkeys and mules – including adorable donkey Esther and Fox the handsome Shire!

The visitor centre has reopened!

Redwings Caldecott is welcoming visitors every day until the end of August! The centre is open between 10.30am - 4pm daily. Paddock walks close at 3pm, but the cafe and gift shop remain open until 4pm.

While the majority of compulsory Covid rules in England have now been lifted, we are continuing to ask supporters to pre-book time slots for their visits to ensure the number of people at the centre remains at a controlled level at all times and help keep our horse care team safe.

All proceeds go towards funding the work of the Sanctuary. That means every time you buy something to eat, you are helping to keep our horses and donkeys fed too. What a great excuse to treat yourself to a piece of cake or an extra cup of tea!

Memory Garden

We've created a new Memory Garden at Redwings Caldecott to provide a welcoming and reflective space for our supporters to remember lost loved ones, both people and pets. You can find out more about the project by clicking here. As part of the project, we have moved all the plaques from our existing memorial area to their new position in the Memory Garden. 

Facilities

Getting around
As we are currently undergoing work to improve our facilities at Redwings Caldecott, please note that some walkways may not be fully accessible to wheelchairs. An updated access statement will be here to view shortly.
