  • Blackadder's Tony to visit furry friends

    AJP

    01 May 2008

    ACTOR, television presenter and campaigner Tony Robinson will be dropping by his favourite charity at the weekend.
    The Blackadder star is a patron at Hopper Haven in Evesham Road, Redditch, a charity which looks after and re-homes hundreds of unwanted guinea pigs and rabbits.
    They are hosting an open day at their headquarters at 557 Evesham Road on Sunday (May 4) in an attempt to make some of the £20,000 per year it takes to run the charity.
    Tony Robinson agreed to become the charity's patron as he has a huge interest in guinea pigs and their welfare.
    He will be in Redditch from 12pm to 4pm, meeting visitors and looking at some of the 175 rabbits and 88 guinea pigs the charity currently has on its books.
    Anyone is welcome to attend.
