A GROUP that rescues abandoned ponies is holding a day of family entertainment.
SAFE (Saving Abandoned Fly-Grazing Equines) had to postpone their annual Family Fun Day due to bad weather conditions.
But with skies looking more settled this week, they are hoping for a sunny day and a great turn out.
Visitors will be able to meet the SAFE ponies and enjoy a fun fair, with donkey rides for children, and a dog show.
Activities will include: inflatables, stalls, and crafts, along with a raffle and tombola.
Visitors can enjoy tea and cakes, a barbecue, ice creams and a licenced bar.
And Big Azza and the Jukesters, Alex and Natasha, Wallflowers, Kevin Patrick Taylor, The Hiker, and Johnno Mack, Twangling Jack, David Ford, Abi Powell, Mr Smooth, Michelle B, and Dave Dunbar will all provide live music.
SAFE Volunteer Kate, said: “This is our largest fundraising event and brings in much needed donations.
“For a charity on its financial knees, it’s really important the event is a success – otherwise we’re in danger of closing.
“We’re therefore asking for as many people as possible to come along and support the day.
“As well as the annual dog show we have an array of stalls, food and drink, and plenty for kids, including donkey rides and a petting zoo.”
The event will take place at Cantley Park, on Saturday, August 19.
Gates are open from 11am until 5pm.
Entry costs £2 per adult, with children free of charge.
Visitors are recommended to park in town centre car parks, a short walk away.
People wishing to enter their pet for the dog show, can just turn up and enrol on the day.
