Ruby Jubilee Raffle UPDATE

We’ve paused the Ruby Jubilee Raffle after identifying an issue in our online setup. To be safe and fair to everyone, we’re refunding all tickets and will not conduct a draw.

Online purchases: refunds will be returned to the original payment method; timing updates will follow here.
In‑person purchases (Christmas Gift Market or Rare Breeds Centre gift shop): visit the gift shop or call 01233 861493 (ext. 241) to arrange a secure refund.

We’ll relaunch a corrected raffle early next year with the same prize bundle—please check back for the date. Thank you for supporting our Farm Accessibility Fundraiser.

In celebration of our 40th anniversary, we’re launching a special fundraising raffle in support of our ambitious accessibility expansion campaign aimed at making the Rare Breeds Centre welcoming and inclusive for visitors of all abilities. To help reach this goal, nine generous local businesses and individuals have donated over £1,000 worth of prizes.

One lucky winner will take home the entire prize bundle of experiences and luxury products.

The prize package includes
An exclusive 45-minute scenic flight over Kent for up to 2 people
A beautiful fine wool Margo Selby scarf – light-weight and elegantly designed
Flackley Ash Country House Hotel health club day pass for 2
A £50 meal voucher for The Woolpack Inn, Warehorne, a charming 16th-century inn
Harry Baker live performance tickets for 2 in London, plus a signed book from the world poetry slam champion
2 bottles of Greensand Ridge London Dry Gin from Kent’s award-winning distillery
18 holes of golf for 4 at Chart Hills Golf Club, a championship course designed by Sir Nick Faldo
3 cases (36 bottles) of International Wine Challenge-winning wines, a mix of reds and whites
A sparkling wine flight tasting at Gusbourne Wines, 3-time winner of the IWSC English Wine Producer of the Year

The grand prize winner will be announced live at our Christmas Grotto on 23rd December 2025 at 6:45 pm.

Supporting accessibility for everyone

Funds raised through this raffle will directly support our farm accessibility plan, which aims to make our entire site welcoming and inclusive for visitors with a wide variety of disabilities. Through these initiatives, COT aims to create an inclusive environment where everyone can explore, play, and connect regardless of ability.

Community Support and Thanks

Huge thanks and deep gratitude to the businesses and individuals who have contributed prizes to the raffle. Their generosity reflects the strong community spirit that has supported the organisation throughout its 40-year history.
