Easter egg donations needed ahead of RSPCA East Winch Wildlife Centre market day

Residents are being invited to attend a spring market which will be held this Saturday at the RSPCA East Winch Wildlife Centre – with prize donations still needed.

The market follows on from the success of similar events at the centre which have helped to raise thousands of pounds for the wildlife in its care.

The event will be held in the visitor centre and outside the centre from 9.30am until 3.30pm.

It will include a host of stallholders selling an array of items such as fresh produce, bread, plants, arts, crafts and gifts – as well as tea, coffee, cakes and cold food.

As well as the stalls, there will also be a tombola and a raffle.

The spring tombola has been organised by volunteers, but they are still appealing for donations of Easter eggs for prizes.

Evangelos Achilleos, RSPCA East Winch Wildlife Centre manager, said: “We are so excited to be hosting another market at our centre and we are inviting people to come down and have a look at all the lovely gifts and food on offer.

“Those who attend will also be able to visit our shop too, and, as we have seals in their pools for rehabilitation, you may get to see some through the visitor centre’s window.

“The people of Norfolk and further afield have always been so supportive of our work here at the East Winch Wildlife Centre and we hope that they will take the time to pay us a visit. The money raised for us will be used to help the many animals in our care.”

All donations can be dropped off at the centre, where the reception is open daily between 8am and 10pm.

The shop is open Fridays from 11am-4pm and Saturdays 10am-4pm.

There is parking at the centre and the address is Gayton Road, East Winch, PE32 1LG.
