For The Love Of Animals fair returns to Quince Honey Farm tomorrow
Local rescues caring for everything from cats and dogs to ponies, otters and hens will be at the South Molton attraction on Saturday, November 14 with free talks, Christmas stalls and advice on rehoming, fostering and volunteering
A free fair dedicated to helping all animals and ensuring they live happy healthy lives is returning to North Devon tomorrow (Saturday, November 14).
For The Love Of Animals takes place at Quince Honey Farm in South Molton from 10am to 3pm and will feature 12 local rescues looking after everything from pets and farm animals to wildlife, from cats and ponies to otters and hens!
Organised by People4ponies, the event will be packed with stalls from animal rescues offering Christmas gift ideas and plenty of advice on looking after animals as well as opportunities to learn more about rehoming, fostering and volunteering.
There is free parking for the indoor fair, as well as free into the Quince Honey Farm, shop, beautiful gardens, meadow trail and restaurant plus free honey taster sessions.
Rescues and charities there on the day include People4ponies, Fleecehaven Sheep Sanctuary, Helping Animals North Devon Society (HANDS), UK Wild Otter Trust, Littlest Wildlife Hotel, Nowzad, The Cinnamon Trust, Fresh Start For Hens, Wright's Care Farm, Cats Protection Barnstaple and Dogs Trust Ilfracombe.
There will be three free talks with Whole Health Agriculture giving a talk at 10.45am to discuss ‘What does an animal need to be healthy? A whole approach to caring for animals’.
This will be followed by talks from People4ponies, which specialises in helping wild and traumatised ponies, at midday and then The Cinnamon Trust at 1pm. The trust works to ensure pets are cared for after their owners pass away, as well as day-to-day support if aspects of pet care become too difficult.
A spokesperson for People4ponies said: “We are so grateful to everyone for their help making this event as popular as it is!
“It is a chance to find out about rehoming, volunteering, fostering, as well as helping to raise much needed funds for our local animal rescues.
“People are so kind in bringing donations for the rescues and also in supporting the stalls - when you buy gifts for Christmas on the stalls, your purchase or donation directly helps an animal in need.”
