General information

The Donkey Sanctuary near Sidmouth has been buzzing this past week, not only due to a busy Halloween half term, but also thanks to the excitement of an award from visitor review site TripAdvisor.

On Monday 1st of October 2012 our Visitors' Centre and gift shop will be closed until lunchtime for stocktaking, we are sorry for any inconvenience.

The rest of the Sanctuary will be open as usual.
