Hillside Open Day Information
Because of the extreme wet weather conditions at the moment and the long range forecast, we are regrettably having to cancel our Open Days both at West Runton and for 20th May at Frettenham because much of the visitors' area is inaccessible. Our next open day at our Shire Horse Sanctuary at West Runton will be Sunday 3rd June when we hope the weather will have returned to normal. We are sorry for any disappointment caused to our supporters for this unavoidable measure. We look forward to welcoming our visitors back in June.

Accredited by the English Tourism Council, our
Open Days are recognised under their Quality Assured Visitor Attraction Scheme.
Their inspector reported: "The most outstanding features were the peaceful ambience, the clean conditions of the animals and the neat presentation of the enclosures and paddocks."
We serve 'animal friendly' refreshments, have a spacious gift shop to browse and a shop with a variety of bric-a-brac. Dogs are welcome too (on a lead please).
To find us at Frettenham from Norwich outer ring road take the B1150 towards North Walsham. After 4 miles you will see The White Horse Public House on the right. Take the next turning left into Hall Lane and Hillside is the first turning on the left.
