Get Ready for a Magical Summer Evening! ✨🎄🌟 Come one, come all, and step into an enchanting, illuminated world at Hay Burr Inn Equine Rescue & Sanctuary! Join us for a special Christmas in July Light Walk, a unique nighttime experience where our sanctuary takes on a festive glow. Our incredible rescued horses and donkeys will be peacefully settling in for the evening as you enjoy the ambiance.
Embark on a Twinkling Trail Adventure! 🚶♀️🚶♂️ Stroll along our scenic half-mile woodland trail (with a little uphill at the start!), now beautifully lit with the warm and inviting glow of Christmas lights. Let the unexpected combination of summer and holiday spirit spark your imagination! Keep your eyes open for charming Christmas-themed decorations that will add a touch of winter wonder to the summer night. It's a peaceful and enchanting walk for the whole family to enjoy.
Important Note for Your Evening Stroll: Please wear comfy, closed-toe shoes that you don't mind getting a little bit earthy – we're still exploring nature at twilight!
More Than Just Lights: Supporting a Heartwarming Cause! ❤️ Hay Burr Inn Equine Rescue & Sanctuary is a non-profit organization dedicated to giving rescued horses and donkeys a second chance at a happy life. This Christmas in July Light Walk is a donation-based fundraiser, and every contribution helps us provide the care and upkeep these wonderful animals deserve. Your presence and generosity on these evenings make a real difference.
No Tickets Needed – Just Bring Your Warmth! That's right, entry to this magical nighttime event requires no advance ticket purchase! Your kind donations are what allow us to continue our mission of rescuing and caring for equines. We invite you to share in the festive spirit and support our cause.
