Crafty Corner Shop at
The Retreat Animal Rescue
Crafty Corner is a non profit arts and craft shop located at The Retreat Animal Rescue in High Halden, Kent. We opened in May 2024 with our soul aim to fundraise for the animals that live here on site.
​
We support local artists by showcasing their amazing work, with all our profits going directly to the animals comfort and wellbeing.
​
Our first challenge was to raise the money to put a hard standing area in with one of our groups of pigs, known as The Fox Pigs. Thanks to you we have achieved this so far. Our next challenge is to do the same for another group, known as The Driveway Pigs. So please come and visit us, and you can also shop here online.
​
We are open from
March to the end of November
Thursday to Sunday 12pm to 4pm.
Thank you for your continual support.
