Christmas opening times

Merry Christmas #RedwingsAngels!

Whether you’ve travelled to one of our visitor centres, rehomed one of our rescued horses, sponsored an Adoption Star, held a fundraiser or purchased items in our gift shops – as a charity 100% funded by donations, every way you have showed your support for Redwings this year has meant so much! Thank you!

Our offices will close on Tuesday 24th December at 4pm, and will reopen on Thursday 2nd January. Any orders placed online for gifts or to sponsor an Adoption Star will be processed once our offices reopen in the New Year.

Our welfare line will also be closed during this time. Anyone with a concern about a horse over the festive period is still welcome to leave a message, or in the case of an emergency, please get in touch with the RSPCA. You can find further information about how to make a report here.

If you’d like to visit our rescued horses and donkeys over the Christmas break, you can! Our English visitor centres will be open as usual, every Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday, 10am to 4pm. However, please check our website before travelling in case of any changes (especially with the winter weather!) and be aware that our cafes will be offering reduced menus.

Redwings Mountains in Scotland will continue to offer private visits on Mondays and Fridays in the New Year. Please check the centre’s page for details of how you can book your visit.

Thank you once again for all your have done to support our work, especially in this special Ruby Anniversary year. And a huge thank you to all our staff and volunteers, many of whom will be out in all weathers caring for our rescued horses and donkeys through Christmas, for their exceptional care and dedication.

We hope you have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. See you in 2025!
