Redwings Aylsham Visitor Centre

Over 70 residents are ready to make your acquaintance at Redwings Aylsham in Norfolk.Since forming in 1984, Redwings now cares for over 1,300 rescued horses, ponies, donkeys and mules at its centres across the country – which includes Redwings Aylsham, a Visit England Quality Assured Visitor Attraction. Everything Redwings does is 100% funded by the public.Lovable donkey duo Wiggins and Wacko, cute cob Pickle and Redwings’ notorious herd of Shetlands - 'The Gangsters’, are just some of the rescued residents ready to meet you. After making plenty of new four-legged friends, you can also enjoy a relaxing stroll around the centre’s peaceful wildlife walks – perfect for keen ramblers and dog walkers! Hot drinks and warm lunches are available from Gulliver’s Café and our gift shop is open with a wide range of souvenirs to browse, with all proceeds supporting the hundreds of rescued horses, ponies, donkeys and mules in Redwings’ care. You can also learn about horses and even try to run a rescue in our education centre Red’s Shed!Having met the centre’s lovable residents, you might like to sponsor one of the charity’s adorable Adoption Stars. Available from just £2 a month, you can adopt for yourself or as a thoughtful gift for a friend or loved one. Please ask a staff member about this during your visit and they will be happy to assist you.
