Cllr Graham Lawman, leader of Wellingborough Town Council, said: “We are delighted to bring yet another attraction to the town centre for families to enjoy.

"These events are always popular and give everybody a reason to dwell in the town and meet animals they wouldn’t normally see.”

Also at the event will be Ouessant sheep – a rare heritage breed originally from the island of Ouessant just off the northern coast of France – the world’s smallest sheep.

The free event takes place on September 21 from 10.30am until 2.30pm in Market Street.

A Wellingborough Town Council spokesperson added: “Get ready for a delightful day of furry fun as Market Street in Wellingborough hosts the Animal Encounters event on Saturday, September 21.
