Rhian Storey of Sheepfolds Stables said, “We’re really excited to launch our festive events schedule and expect all activities to be extremely popular with friends, families and young children (especially!). The kids’ events are always very lively, energetic and loads of fun, so we’d love to see everyone dressed up in their best Grinch costumes.
“We’re now preparing to decorate our site, and this will create a great atmosphere in the run up to Christmas. It’ll be fantastic so we can’t wait to welcome everyone through our gates.”
