Last Updated on April 22, 2024 by Suzy McCullough

Northcote Heavy Horse Centre in Spilsby Lincolnshire is a dedicated animal welfare charity. They care for horses, birds of prey and other animals, offering them a forever home. Since 1989 they have been promoting animal welfare in an educational setting offering visitors the unique chance to meet the animals and have a very hands-on experience.

Things to do at Northcote Heavy Horse Centre

The centre is a popular visitor centre and has attracted thousands of visitors over the years since it first opened. They rely on the generosity of the public and donations. At select times they offer the opportunity to lead or groom some of their horses. They also host special events.

It’s not just a place for horses! They are home to many different animals, which you can see including pigs, alpacas, goats, birds of prey and more. Entry is free, although they do ask for a donation where possible (excluding special events,). They have no paid members of staff so all the money goes towards the care of the animals. As well as horse grooming they also encourage visitors to have lots of other handling experiences. As they are on a farm it can get muddy so make sure you take your boots.
