Did you know you can borrow activity bags from your local Family Hub?

They're free to borrow and there's something for different ages and interests.

Why not pop in and take a look next time you're passing?

💙 Bluey is coming to Oak Tree! 💙

We’re so excited to be welcoming everyone’s favourite blue heeler to Oak Tree Farm this August! 🐾

Join us for a fun-filled one-hour session where little ones can meet Bluey, snap a photo, enjoy face painting, glitter tattoos, cupcake decorating and take part in fun children’s crafts! ✨🧁🎨

While our site remains closed to the general public due to essential repair works, this event will take place in our front field, away from the ongoing works, with limited numbers to ensure everyone has a safe and enjoyable experience.

Events like these are more important than ever. Every ticket purchased helps us continue raising vital funds to care for the animals at Oak Tree and support the essential repairs needed to secure the future of our charity 🧡

📅 7th–9th August
⏰ Sessions at 10am, 12pm & 2pm
📍 Oak Tree Farm, Wetheral, CA48JA

🎟️ Spaces are limited, so book early to avoid disappointment!

The Summer Holidays are fast approaching, so now is the perfect time to book your child's FREE NHS eye test.

Regular eye tests are so important for children.

They can detect any underlying eye conditions early, ensure their vision is developing properly and help them perform their best both in and out of the classroom.

Did you know that NHS-funded eye tests are available for all children under 16 (and under 19 if they're in full-time education)?

Book your child's appointment today and give them the best start for the next school year.
