Witchcraft and spiritual shop Flange & Prong, in Horncastle’s West Street, held a fundraising summer fair on Saturday June 18 to raise funds for Wild Things Rescue, an animal rescue charity.

The fair had stalls from many local businesses including Reflexology Lincolnshire, Knotwork Massage Therapy and Aura Cloud, offering visitors Indian Head Massages and other treatments.

Shelley Mayes of Flange & Prong said: “We’re amazed at how well it went, our therapists donated part of their fee and it was a brilliant day.”

Wild Things has seen a huge influx of animals being admitted, including hedgehogs, crows, rooks, pigeons and even birds of prey.

Founder Lucy Steele said: “It’s really hectic at the moment, we took in 148 animals in June and we’re currently full, so we’ve had to close for new admissions for now.

"The money Flange & Prong raised was so helpful, we’ve managed to buy two weeks worth of food for the animals which is brilliant.”
