The Rocking Horse Shop

The day is primarily to raise money for an amazing Cancer Charity called “Lasting Life” of which we are proud to be a part of and are launching a new Rocking Horse in their honour of which 10% of all sales will go to the fund. We will be launching a new horse, which is to be called ‘Spirit of Lasting Life’ aimed at raising awareness and money for this incredible charity. More information can be found on the link below:

Lasting Life gives money directly to the people who need it, to assist in whatever way necessary those affected by the cruel disease of cancer. More information on their amazing work can be found on https://lastinglife.org.uk/

We hope to have a fun and informal day, chat to the team, watch demonstrations, talks, have a go at leatherwork, painting and carving and ultimately raise some more money for a cause that has touched so many of us. We will also be formally launching our new Small Laminated Horse and Carving Course Dates for 2025!

As always there will be lots of special offers exclusive to the day!

It would be lovely to see you on the day, please let us know in advance of your attendance it will help with planning and parking. The day will open to a wide audience and local community.  Refreshments will be available, and proceeds will go to the Lasting Life fund.
