The Northcote Heavy Horse Centre is an equine rescue centre and a visitor’s attraction offering truly hands on experiences unlike anywhere else. We have been operating for over 20 years helping horses of all sizes from various backgrounds. The Centre runs entirely on donations from the general public and cannot operate without your help.

The Northcote Heavy Horse Centre is home to horses of all sizes, from heavy horses, shire horses, percherons, Belgian draft horses, shetland ponies and even a Suffolk Punch! You can meet all the horses (big and small) on our horses page. Each horse has lots of pictures and some brief information on their breed, history and life. Visit the horses page now!

We're pleased to announce our very popular Medieval Banquet Evening will be returning for it's third year! Due to very popular demand last year (selling out all tickets) we're going to be hosting two events. (Saturday Evening 31st May / Saturday Evening 26th July)

The evening will feature a full hog roast dinner and entertainment with birds of prey, medieval skill at arms, jesters and more! We'll also have a licensed bar. You don't have to dress up but it would be fun if you did! 

Tickets are on sale now, please see our events page for more details. 

Do you shop online on sites like Amazon, eBay etc? Well, the folks at Easyfundraising offer a completely free service where you create an account with them, then select Northcote Heavy Horse Centre as your charity and each time you visit the shopping site (like Amazon) you go to Easyfundraising first and click 'Go Shopping' and just shop like you normally do. Each site will then give a donation (based on a percentage) and then we will get 100% of that donation! Find out more on their site!
