Onsite at Thorpe Farm, is Wetheriggs Animal Rescue Centre. Wetheriggs is a family run animal centre who take in injured, and unwanted animals. These animals include domestic pets, farm animals, and other native wildlife. The owners said, “If we have the facilities suitable, we will take in any animal and give them a new home and a new chance at life.”
Visitors can get the chance to get close to these animals, and potentially even feed them! They also regularly hold animal handling sessions with rabbits, guinea pigs, mice, snakes, lizards, rats, chickens and much more!
