Lion comes to tea at Pretty Things
To mark the Born Free Foundation’s Big Cat Nap Week, Pretty Things’ staff dressed down in pyjamas and onesies and Lionel, the mascot of the Horsham-based international wildlife charity, joined them for tea.
Born Free’s fundraising week is taking place from July 1-7, and aims to raise awareness of the plight of big cats in the wild.

“We at Pretty Things are really excited to be helping to spread the Born Free message and hope that we can raise awareness of the charity’s important work to protect big cats, and other animals, in the wild.
“So come in, spoil yourself with some delicious cake and help save big cats at the same time!”
