Children under 5 years will be able to visit Santa on foot. Tickets are £10 each or two for £19, or £5 for under 5’s. Booking is essential, so be quick as they fill up fast!

EVENING GAZETTE “YOUR SAY” COLUMN FOR 13 SEPTEMBER 2023
Hello everyone.
We’re already now into week two of the Autumn term as we welcome back our participants old and new. During the summer holiday break we organised a huge project to give the Centre a really big spruce up inside and out, involving a deep clean, painting and tidying. We were joined by workplace volunteer teams from Amazon Darlington, Mandale Homes, PX Limited and Virgin Media. They worked so hard alongside our staff and volunteer team, and we’re so grateful for their help. The Centre now looks absolutely wonderful! The horses have had a welcome break too, and are all fit and well.

IT’S ALL ABOUT COMMUNITY
The summer holidays are in full swing and I hope you’re all managing to get a break at some point.
It’s all change here at the Centre as our schools have a break from their riding lessons, so we’re filling the gaps with lots of different activities such as Pony Care sessions for youngsters, and separate stable management mornings for our adult participants.
Some of our horses are going away on their holidays too – they love a change of scene and opportunities to hack out.
