Gabrielle Finn, chair of trustees, said: “Unicorns are so popular with children, and we will have plenty around the centre to meet and ride.

“Running a riding centre as large as ours is a massive financial undertaking and events like this play a huge part.

“We hope lots of people will come along to find out more about what we do, and support our fundraising.”

Children aged five to 12 can enjoy a unicorn pony ride in a magical indoor woodland glade for £15, with rides requiring pre-booking.

Throughout the day, visitors can take part in a hobby horse competition in the outdoor arena, browse craft stalls, and try their luck at the raffle or tombola.

Refreshments will also be available.

The centre welcomes donations of bottles or prizes for the raffle and tombola in advance of the event. Entry is free.

It is located on Stainton Way in Hemlington, beside the Cleveland Police Headquarters.

The centre is part of the national Riding for the Disabled Association and is supported by Team GB Olympic medallist Nicola Wilson, who serves as patron.
