Wendelton Guinea Pig Village

Open Wednesday & Thursday 9am-5pm

(Same as the Eyebright Shop Hours)

Wendelton is a small village where the Eyebright Guinea Pigs live. Among miniature houses and businesses, they scamper about the verdant pastures of Wendelton. There’s a school, a castle, a beauty salon and the all-important maternity unit. Wandering around the perimeter you will encounter plaques about the many buildings.

Wednesdays and Thursdays are very exciting days at Eyebright’s Guinea Pig Village! The furry little residents know exactly when visitors are due, and the moment they hear footsteps coming down the path, they scurry to the fence, eager to say hello and, more importantly, see what treats might be coming their way!

Pop into the shop to collect some guinea pig food, then head down to meet these adorable, whiskery characters. There’s something irresistibly entertaining about watching their excitement as they gather for a feast, and we reckon feeding them could well be the most fun you’ll have all week!

The Wendelton Book

There's even a book written by Peter Owen, Owner of Eyebright.

It looks like another kids book but has adult tongue-in-cheek humour running through it. If you enjoyed the plaques dotted around Wendelton, then 'To Many Guinea Pigs' will tickle your funny bone also.

If Peter is on site (he almost always is), then he will be delighted to sign your copy.
