A RECORD-BREAKING Half Term: In review

It was a week in February like we had never experienced before. We're calling it a 'week of dreams!' that saw us welcome over 3000 visitors to a Great Day Out in record-breaking style.

Families across the region flocked to the Country Centre to make the most of the holiday break, with planned activities to enjoy every single day. From our 'Meet and Greet' and goat grooming sessions with our farm animals, indoor cinema, aRTie the Aldingbourne Express, and a special members-only 'Stargazing Event'. 

One such visitor was Kelly Tormey, who had not long become an annual member of the Trust, "After recently moving to the area, we had heard some fantastic things about Aldingbourne Trust & it exceeded our expectations, so much so that we became members after our first visit."

Kelly was full of praise for the staff at the Trust, who went above and beyond to ensure that her family had a wonderful time. "Every staff member we came into contact with was so friendly and helpful, from the reception staff, to the cafe, the farm team, to the lovely man that organises the guinea pig snuggles! (My son's favourite experience that he hasn't stopped speaking about or watching the video of since we left). There is such a great selection of activities to keep you endlessly entertained!" Kelly exclaimed. "We're going to be making some of the best childhood memories here, I can tell!"

We are thrilled to hear such positive feedback from our visitors and are already looking forward to our 'Easter Eggcitement' events. If you haven't yet visited Aldingbourne Country Centre, why not join us for an Easter FULL of fun this April? And don't forget, every penny you spend goes directly to helping us support adults in our community with learning disabilities and/or autism. Thank YOU for making a difference!
