Our Donkey Carer Experience Days give members of the public an unforgettable opportunity to work behind the scenes at our Sanctuary near Sidmouth in Devon, home to over 400 rescued and unwanted donkeys.
This unique day allows the Donkey Carer to gain hands-on experience meeting and caring for some of our donkeys, with activities including grooming and cuddling time, feeding and exercising the donkeys, mucking out their stables and enjoying a guided tour of the farm. It’s the chance of a lifetime to work closely with our beautiful, gentle donkeys and learn about them from our knowledgeable staff!
The package also includes:
• A keepsake framed photo and certificate
• A donkey goody bag
• A bespoke polo shirt to take home
• A delicious lunch and refreshments (including a Devon cream tea)
How much does it cost?
The price of our Donkey Carer for the Day Experience is £175. Funds raised are used to support our continuing work both here in the UK and overseas.
Who is eligible?
These experience days are currently only available to people over 16 years of age.
