Annandale and Eskdale
Our activity is for disabled children and young people to spend a morning with ponies. You will try the exciting sport of pony driving, with a professional trainer who will teach and show you how to drive a pony. We will ask you to wear a hard hat when on the carriage with your trainer. We have carriages that are accessible if you are a wheelchair user or have poor mobility. If the weather is bad, we do pony driving in a covered arena. If you would like you can also try grooming a pony and meet the other animals who live there.

At the Community Reuse Shop we are passionate about reducing waste by reusing and recycling and we’ve been investigating the exciting things that can be created from items that people donate. During the summer holidays we’ll be running Reuse & Reinvent Creative Workshops to make fun things which don’t cost the Earth. Some of the things we’ll be creating are CD Sun catchers, T-shirt bags, designing & creating magnets, decorating plant pots & planting. Come along to these free workshops and create something different!
