Come one, come all, to the rat festival! Six weeks of fun contests and games with prizes to be won, you’ll find something for everyone at the first annual Little Rat Circus.
We’ll kick off with two competitions for valentines, with a chance to win the top prize of one of several special heart-themed lil’ rats, and custom pastel heart rosettes awarded to the top three entrants.
After that we’ll move on to the grand national, an RNG game to race your lil' rats to the finish line.
We’ll also have a team game, quiz-based dressage “test”, a fundraiser raffle, and much more!
The festivities continue into march, culminating in a grand prize ceremony on the spring equinox, 20th March 2025. Put it in your diaries!
