Meet our friendly donkeys

We have an enclosed picnic area where you can enjoy your lunch and relax in the sunshine.

Buy a tea/coffee/hot chocolate/snack or an ice cream in our Visitor Centre. Hot food will also be available from food trucks on site.

You can also adopt your very own donkey during the day and all funds raised go towards the care of welfare of our donkeys.
