A little change of plan for October half term… 🐾

Sadly, we’ve had to cancel our Animal Encounters workshop. Boo! 😔 We know some little animal lovers will be disappointed, and we’re sorry to those who were looking forward to joining us. We have contacted you all personally.

🎃 All our other half-term activities are still running as planned, so there’s still plenty of fun to look forward to!

Thank you for your understanding 💚 We’d love to see you for some half-term fun, a mooch and a treat in the Treehouse Café! 🍰☕

🍂🧦 Cosy season is officially upon us! ☕📖

The days are getting shorter, the evenings are getting chillier, and we think that’s the perfect excuse to get cosy!

Wrap yourself up in a snuggly blanket, pop on your favourite cosy socks, cuddle up with a Warmies hot water bottle, grab a good book and pour yourself a steaming mug of something delicious. 🥰

And for our fellow book lovers, we’ve even got the perfect bookmarks to keep your place between those cosy reading sessions! 📚

All that’s left to do is find your favourite spot, get comfy and enjoy a little time to yourself. 🍁

Pop into Garthowen and discover all the little things that make cosy season even better! ❤️

🎶 It’s beginning to look a lot like… capybaras! 🎅❤️

Our capybara choir has gathered at Garthowen, dressed in their festive finest and ready to sing their little hearts out! With fluffy faces and Santa hats, we think they’re auditioning for this year’s cutest Christmas act. 🎄✨

What do you think they’re singing? “Have Yourself a Capy Little Christmas”? 😂🎵

One gonk to rule them all… 👑🤎

Meet the Lord of Gonk Mountain! With his towering hat, magnificent beard and trusty fellowship of fluffy friends, he’s claimed the best spot in our display. 🏔️✨

Fancy taking one of his companions on an adventure? A cosy corner of your home will do nicely… no trip to Mordor required! 😉
