RSPCA East Winch Wildlife Centre hosting autumn market this month

Residents are being invited to attend an autumn market which is being held at a wildlife centre this month.

RSPCA East Winch Wildlife Centre is holding its latest fundraising event on Saturday, September 28 with the money raised going towards helping the animals currently being rehabilitated there.

The event will be held at the centre’s visitor centre from 9.30am until 3.30pm.

There will be something for everyone - from fresh produce, tea, coffee, cakes, plants, cold food, arts and crafts, tombolas, raffles, and much more.

Evangelos Achilleos, RSPCA East Winch Wildlife centre manager, said it had been a “really busy year” for the team at East Winch, with it being “hard to believe” the autumn season was on its way.

He said: “Although the seasons change, our rehabilitation work of wildlife never stops which is why we are hosting this autumn market to help raise vital funds for the centre.

“We are inviting people to come down and have a look at all the lovely gifts and food on offer and those who attend will also be able to visit our shop too.

“If seals are in their pools for rehabilitation, you may get to see some through the visitor centre’s window when it’s feeding time.

“The people of Norfolk and further afield have always been so incredibly supportive of our work and we hope people will be able to find some time to pop in and visit us at this event.

“We are currently caring for over 250 animals including a whopping 180 hedgehogs, as well as seals, owlets, fawns, buzzards, swans, and ducks to name just a few and the money raised from the event will go towards their ongoing care.”

For those who cannot make the date of the market, the centre’s shop is open on Fridays and Saturdays from 11am until 4pm.
