It’s the final month of winter! As we brace ourselves for more wet and wild weather, we’re inclined to just stay indoors and stay nice and warm.
But if you’re suffering from cabin fever, here are a few ideas to give you some respite from the same four walls.
Native Animal Rescue Open Day
Friday Night Kids Corner
Save the Children Winter Book Sale
Movies in August
Native Animal Rescue Open Day (11th August)
Native Animal Rescue is a wildlife hospital based in Malaga. This non-for-profit organisation don’t just treat and care for injured wildlife, they are actively involved in developing and maintaining rehabilitation strategies for our native fauna.
The centre is giving the public the opportunity to get to know them with an open day on Saturday, 11th August. There will be meet and greets, entertainment, market stalls and activities for all to enjoy. There will also be educational talks which will provide a bit of an insight into the important work that they do.
So if you’ve got a wildlife warrior on your hands, seize this opportunity!
Friday Night Kids Corner at Roar Bar and Grill (every Friday until 23rd August)
Have you had a long week at work? Head on down to Roar Bar and Grill and let them entertain the kids while you sit back and relax with a well-deserved bevvie.
