I would definitely recommend a day out here, it's absolutely brilliant and the kids absolutely loved every bit about it. I'll definitely be back again and again.

We took my 3 year old nephew and he was very happy with it all. Loved to touch the donkeys and they had all manner of sizes and colours. Took a long walk round the field (he needed a lift part way round) to see more of them. To some this may be little more than a field and stables... More

My grandson has two adopted donkeys in the sanctuary. It is a day well spent visiting the sanctuary to enjoy the excitement of my grandson and appreciate the great work of the carers. It is a wonderful wonderful centre both for the donkeys and the visitors.
