 There may not have been room for Joseph and Mary at the Inn but there’s plenty of room for them and two special guests at Heritage Landscape Centre, which has been transformed for the festive period into Heritage Christmas World!

Children from all over East Yorkshire have been flocking to meet two donkeys who are visiting Heritage Christmas World in Melton during the Christmas season.

BNI member and Director of Heritage Landscape Centre, Ian Ashbridge, built them their own stable and invited Mary, Joseph and Baby Jesus to stay with them!

“We absolutely love Christmas here at Heritage and there’s nothing better to get you into the Christmas spirit than to see the smiles on the children’s faces when they meet the donkeys and see all the Christmas trees and lights. It makes it all worth while.”

“I wasn’t at all feeling Christmassy until I visited The Heritage Christmas World and now I can’t wait to get the tree up and I’m rearing to go. The donkeys are so cute!”
Little Isabella Penna of Swanland said:

“I really liked seeing the donkeys and feeding them some carrots”.

And after you’ve visited the nativity scene you can buy your Christmas tree at the same time! There are hundreds to choose from and you won’t be disappointed! Then wander through the Christmas Cabin to see reindeer, polar bears and the North Pole Express.
