We know its hard times for everyone but if you have a few spare £’s the animals would really appreciate it.
How The Menagerie Was Started
The menagerie was started by a dream to move to the country and have two goats and a donkey! When owner, Nikki, recovered from a serious illness her family decided to make this happen. They said goodbye to village life and purchased an old farm house and a field. Very soon the field started to fill up with various animals many of which were hand reared.
