Whether you have recently acquired your donkey, are thinking of purchasing one in the future, or have been looking after them for years, we invite you to come and join two of our experts in donkey care and nutrition for a day of information and advice. The workshops are organised by our Welfare Department and are completely free to attend.

Whether you are an experienced equine owner, have newly acquired donkeys or are thinking of purchasing one of our four-legged friends - this day of revelation, fun and learning for you! The workshop is organised by our Welfare Department and is completely free to attend.

To help promote The Donkey Sanctuary's worldwide work and our sister charity, the Elisabeth Svendsen Trust for Children and Donkeys (EST), we will, once again, be attending shows around the country.

These fun and interactive workshops for children, held during the school holidays, may include 'hands on' grooming with our friendly donkeys, story telling and various arts/crafts activities.

Activity themes for each workshop will be announced nearer the times.

International Donkey Week is a holiday with a difference - a chance for you to have close contact with our donkeys in glorious settings. You can groom, cuddle or just sit and watch the donkeys, which, we hasten to add, is very relaxing and therapeutic.
