Learn about our miniature herd in their super new paddock as you walk around the sanctuary answering the questions to win a prize.
Winter care at the sanctuary is all about helping our donkeys stay happy in mind and body when the temperatures begin to drop and the weather changes.
Combine family fun, exercise and brainpower for just £5 per trail, including a prize when you complete the trail. Head to the Gift Shop to pick up a trail sheet and you’re ready to explore the sanctuary. Remember to wrap up warm and bring your wellies!
Plus with a new bat beacon interactive exhibition, natural play area, daily talks, scenic walks, engaging displays, award-winning gardens and, of course, hundreds of adorable donkeys to meet, there’s so much to explore with your own herd, whatever the weather. Friendly dogs on leads are welcome too!
