Visitors are asked to hold onto their excitement — Woodlands Animal Sanctuary’s popular Easter Open Day has been rescheduled to ensure the safety of all who attend, with a new date now confirmed for May.
Organisers have taken the decision with Storm Dave due to bring bad weather to the region over Easter weekend.
A Woodlands spokesperson said: “Woodlands Animal Sanctuary has taken the difficult but necessary decision to postpone its Easter Open Day, originally scheduled for Friday 3rd April 2026, due to a forecast of high winds that would pose a risk to the safety of both visitors and animals alike.
“The welfare of the animals in its care and the safety of its visitors are always the sanctuary’s first priority, and the decision — though disappointing — was made without hesitation once adverse weather conditions became apparent.
New Date Confirmed
“The Open Day has been rescheduled to Saturday 16th May 2026. Full details and ticketing information will be announced shortly via the sanctuary’s website and social media channels. Spaces are expected to be popular, so supporters are encouraged to keep an eye out for further details.
