The Rona Harman Building was built in late 2016 and formally opened in 2017.
Thank you to our fabulous supporter Rona Harman and funding from the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development through the Making it Local Project for making this possible.
A lifelong animal lover, Rona Harman first visited Ferne in 1999, seeking a new home for her three tortoises, whom she could no longer care for. She became a Friend of Ferne in 2009 and remained a steadfast supporter until her passing in 2015. Rona’s generous legacy made it possible for us to build the original Visitor Centre, which proudly bears her name. A true advocate for the Sanctuary, we are deeply grateful for her support and honoured that her name will forever be linked to the cause she cherished.

Here at Ferne, we stock a range of animal care products and food at competitive prices. If you need something that we don’t stock, let us know and we will be happy to order it in for you. We also have some lovely gifts selling a wide range of carefully selected products and produce.
Stockist for Pet Remedy
Buying your pet supplies and gifts from either our onsite or online store you are supporting the rescue, rehabilitation and rehoming of animals in our care as all profits go towards the charity.
