Join us at Redwings Aylsham to celebrate the 22nd birthday of Adoption Star donkey Wiggins!

Everyone is invited!

All are welcome to come along to Redwings Aylsham, north of Norwich, on Sunday 14th June and join in a day of family activities.

The centre opens at 10am as usual but between 10.45am and 2.30pm there will be an the opportunity to watch Wiggins enjoy a pampering groom and put your questions to his carers, and the presentation of a donkey-friendly birthday cake for Wiggins to enjoy! You may even spot mascots Red and Wings! We'll even be inviting you to join us in making fun enrichment boxes for Wiggins and his donkey pals to enjoy.

If you can't make it, don't worry! We'll be sure to update our social media pages with photos from the party, and Wiggins will be updating all his sponsors about all the fun he had during his next email update.

Birthday presents for the birthday boy!

If you'd like to send the birthday boy a special gift to celebrate you can take a look at his birthday Amazon wishlist here.

From treats to tea-bags (yes, really! We use them to make flavoured water for enrichment) plus haynets and practical everyday items too, there are plenty of ways to send Wiggins some love on his birthday - we know he would be very grateful! Thank you #RedwingsAngels.
