Cavy Corner Guinea Sanctuary presents a World First!
For two Sunday's only our Enchanted Guinea Pig Grotto

This is a grotto for animal lovers of all ages (not just kids) Our Grotto doesn't have lots of plastic or tinsel.... or even a Santa.... who needs Santa when you can watch delightful guineas at play in themed areas? But it's very very special.

On the 18th our Grotto which we are creating ourselves will form part of Cusworths own Christmas festival but we are self contained in our own building away from the main house.

Hope to see some forum members there. Any questions please ask.

(As always the guineas comfort and safety is our utmost priority)

Does anyone know if the venue is near a train station? If not i'll drive but thought it might be worth checking?
 
wow, if I can persuade the hubby I'll be along :-) what time does it all kick off?
 
Too far for me :(
Its a shame because it sounds lovely, but I dont think mum would be happy if i asked her to drive 4 hours to see some piggies. She'd probably say somethinng like 'you have two at home, why'd you want to see more?!'
I suppose I could get the train :)

Thankyou for offering :)
Unfortunately I cant make it though, My mum is refusing to let me go, because she doesnt think its "safe" for me to go on my own without anyone I know rolleyes.
but thanks for offering xx
 
I can understand that, but if you let her have a look at the Cavy Corner website you'll see that Suze and Winston who run it are very responsible people - most of their volunteers are youngsters whose parents wouldn't let them go otherwise. If your mum would like to speak to me on the phone, give me a pm and I'll let her have my phone number, if that would help?

I've just tried talking to her but she's having none of it. She's got it into her head now and is too stubborn to back down rolleyes. I guess its just because she cares about me and because there are so many horrible people in this world she doesnt know who she can trust. No offence to anyone on here, because you're all such wonderful people but she's just suspicous of everybody :/
I'll try in a bit when she's in a better mood ;) xx
 
That's fine, she's just being a good mum, and I do understand. My offer stands, if you think she might like to talk to me later on.
 
hi just to say was it "Cavy corner" that I heard on Radio Sheffield the other day??
 
Oh wish id have known of this sooner :(, I dont drive so would have to plan bus routes (It takes me forever I'm always scared i'll get on the wrong bus or miss the stop and get lost mallethead).
 
oooh i'll try come this sunday, i'm looking after the monkey again, is it ok to bring him along? x

I didn't hear it myself, but Suze is often interviewed on Radio Sheffield, so it's quite likely.

Jinnywig, if "monkey" is a child it will be perfect, it's a lovely thing for little ones to see, and there's the opportunity for guinea pig cuddles too.

Cusworth itself is having its own Christmas fair this next Sunday, so there'll be things there to see as well as the Cavy Corner Grotto. It was wonderful last Sunday - if it wasn't so far for me to drive, I'd be there again like a shot.

It certainly was! We have also been in the Yorkshire Post and The Doncaster Star newspapers and done a radio interview on Sine Fm radio interview in the past week.

If anyone can go on Sunday, please do - it's so well worth it (I went last Sunday), it's enchanting and beautiful.

The grotto was a huge success!
Guineas and visitors all had a great time and lots of people learned a lot about guineas and the need for rescues.
We even had visitors who had travelled for hours JUST to get to us ( not counting any our regular band of friends and followers)
We had lots of press coverage and we WILL be back with our Grotto again next year.
 
Yay, so glad it went well and yet another Cavy Corner event to make sure I put on next years calendar.
 
Sorry i dint make it :(. I'll look into it next year always looking for places for the kiddys to go. Plus theres the piggys :<>.
