Suffolk Horse Weekend with a bit of Punch!
28th-29th August 2011
If you’re at a loose end this bank holiday, why not visit Lanwades Park for a fantastic Suffolk Horse weekend? There will be horse and cart rides, pulled by the magnificent Suffolk Punches themselves, demonstrations, and a chance to meet Pride, a beautiful Suffolk horse, and her foal Max. There are also walks around the grounds and gardens of Lanwades Park to explore, a gift shop and the Stable Yard Coffee Shop, where you can buy delicious homemade cakes, scones, lunches and coffees.
Lanwades Park is home of the Animal Health Trust (AHT), who have been involved with the Suffolk Horse Society in order to develop a sustainable breeding programme to save the wonderful horse from extinction. Dr Sarah Blott of the AHT will be on hand over the weekend to answer any questions about the project and tell you what you can do to help.
The Suffolk Horse event will be happening on Sunday 28th – Monday 29th August from 10am – 4pm. Entry to Lanwades Park is free and dogs are welcome.
The American Civil War Society (UK) Re-enactment Day on Sunday 7th August 2011.
Sergeant John Quick of the 19th Indiana Volunteer Infantry Company A (UK) is a long standing client of our Small Animal Clinic and a group from the 19th Indiana and a group from the 18th Virginia Company G will be coming to Lanwades Park for the weekend of 6th and 7th August.
They will be living and camping in the grounds throughout the weekend in an authentic recreation of the way that the original soldiers did in the 1860’s.
There will also be a BBQ in the Visitors Centre courtyard together with various trade stands in the grounds. There will also be tours around our clinics during the course of Sunday 7th.
