NEWTON-based charity The Mare and Foal Sanctuary is planning two events this Christmas for all those curious about the work that they do.

The first event is the family-friendly Christmas Fair at their Upcott Park sanctuary on November 27. There will be stalls, games, an elves’ workshop, wreath making and festive refreshments.

Most importantly, there will be the opportunity to meet the sanctuary’s rescued horses and ponies and learn about how the charity cares for them.

A second event will take place on December 4 at the Honeysuckle Sanctuary. This will commemorate the charity’s founder and again will be an opportunity to learn more about the sanctuary.

► Both events will be free and can be booked at: http://www.mareandfoal.org/events/
