On the back of our most successful Table Top Sale of 2012, the PFA at EST Sidmouth now prepare for a busy Summer of Car Boot Sales. The Parents and Friends Association (PFA) will hold their first Car Boot Sale in the overflow car park at The Donkey Sanctuary on Saturday 21st April between 9am - 12pm.

Last year these proved really popular with the public, especially when the weather was nice, and are a great way of raising funds for the Centre.

Pitches start from £5 for a car, £7 for a car with trailer and £7 for a van.

As part of International Donkey Week, EST Sidmouth’s PFA are holding a special Bingo night with lots of prizes to be won.

This popular event will again be held in the EST Sidmouth Centre within the grounds of The Donkey Sanctuary. Doors open at 7.30pm ready for eyes down at 8pm. Bingo goers can expect a fun filled night with cash prizes up for grabs.

The entry fee is £5 per person, to include a light supper. Books start from £1 each; and players can pick up 6 books for the bargain price of £5. There will also be a raffle.

Between 1.30pm - 3.30pm on the afternoons of Tuesday 3rd, Thursday 5th, Tuesday 10th and Thursday 12th April 2012 the PFA at EST Sidmouth will be holding their annual ‘Easter Fun Afternoons’ to help raise funds for the Centre.

These afternoons are always popular, as the PFA open up the Centre for everyone to take part in their fundraising activities.

The entry fee to take part in these fun filled afternoons is only £5 per child; this includes taking part in the donkey Easter egg hunt, Easter arts and crafts goody bag to make and take home, glass of squash and Easter biscuit.

The team at EST Sidmouth will be holding their first ever Family Fun Day and Produce Show on Sunday 15th April at their Centre based within the grounds of The Donkey Sanctuary.
