GEESE, guinea fowl, Indian runner ducks and turkeys have all flocked to the studio of award-winning artist Mary Ann Rogers.
But by far the most popular animal with visitors to the West Woodburn gallery has been Pancake the reindeer.
And this Sunday he’s coming back by popular demand as part of Mary Ann’s Christmas open days.
The event will run from 11am to 5pm during which children can pet and feed Pancake treats and adults can browse the gallery’s selection of paintings, prints, jewellery and clothing.
There’ll also be a lucky dip for youngsters, mulled wine for their parents and mince pies for all.
Further open days are being held during the festive period on November 27 and 28 and December 5 and 6, also from 11am to 5pm.
