We have recently been joined by Katherine, who will now be running children’s activities every Wednesday – Sunday throughout Winter.

Join us at Ferne for a variety of activities and trails throughout the season…we can’t wait to welcome you!

We’re so excited about our Festive plans at Ferne this December!

Join us for our annual Christmas Fayre on the 3rd and 4th of December 10am – 4pm, with a variety of stalls, fundraising fun and Santa Claus! There will also be a special opportunity for a festive photo shoot with your pooch, bookable in advance with Fuchsia Photography (see details below). You can also visit us at the Christmas Fayre without paying entry into the Sanctuary, however there are discounted rates during the event if you do want to visit.

Our Animal Blessing in the Barn is set to be a truly magical experience, with Christmas Carols, mulled wine and mince pies for that fabulous festive feeling on Saturday the 10th of December! To book your tickets, visit our online shop HERE.

Be sure to keep an eye out on our social media and website for more details on our festive activities…

During our Christmas Fayre on the 3rd and 4th of December, we will be joined by the fantastic Fuchsia Photography, who will be offering her brilliant festive photo shoots and sharing 50% of her profits directly with Ferne!

With a few different package and garlands available, we recommend pre-booking your slot HERE for the best chance to get your festive photo with your best friend!

Don’t miss this fantastic opportunity to get a lovely photo and help raise essential funds for Ferne…

We can’t wait to see you there!
