Looking for a fun, memorable and hands-on experience with animals? Come and join us for Sanctuary Saturdays at the Northcote Heavy Horse Centre — a unique chance to meet our amazing animals and enjoy a relaxed, family-friendly session in the Lincolnshire countryside.
Sanctuary Saturdays are pre-booked, 2-hour sessions where guests can enjoy a variety of interactive animal activities, learn about life at the sanctuary, and spend time with some of our most-loved residents.
Whether you’re a family, couple, group of friends or just a huge animal lover — this is the perfect weekend treat!
🐐 What’s Included?
Each Sanctuary Saturday experience includes:
• 🐴 Pony grooming
• 🦙 Llama walking
• 🦡 Ferret handling
• 🐐 Meet & feed the animals
• 💬 A short talk about their stories and personalities
These sessions are small and relaxed, and while you’ll be joining alongside other booked visitors, the atmosphere is calm and welcoming — perfect for those who want something quieter than a busy open day.
☕ On the Day
• Hot & cold drinks, cakes, crisps and snacks available to buy
• Please dress for the weather – many activities take place outdoors
• Dogs welcome on leads
• The whole sessions lasts around 2 hours
📝 Important Information
• Pre-booking is essential – we do not accept walk-ins
• Activities may occasionally change due to weather or animal welfare, but we’ll always provide something equally fun or help you rebook another day
• Tickets are non-refundable, but we’ll always try to reschedule your visit if needed
