This year we will be holding our annual Donkey Summer Fair on Sunday 15th August 2010 from 10.00 am to 4.00 pm.

Last year we attracted thousands of visitors who thoroughly enjoyed themselves among the many stalls, games and activities which included donkey cart rides and donkey riding displays by some of the children with special needs and disabilities who attend our sister charity, the Elisabeth Svendsen Trust for Children and Donkeys (EST) centre in the grounds of the Sanctuary.

Help us raise valuable funds for the donkeys and enjoy an unforgettable opportunity to "muck in" at the world's largest donkey sanctuary!

Following on from the success of our adult Experience Days, we are pleased to announce the launch of our new donkey carer days that are especially for younger donkey enthusiasts.

The Donkey Sanctuary has joined together once again with World Expeditions, a company specialising in charity treks, and organised a fabulous sponsored walking challenge in the northern region of India, including a special visit to the wild donkey reserve as well as the opportunity to experience first-hand the work that is carried out by our mobile clinics. The challenge will take place on 14-27 May 2011.

A unique opportunity for a "hands on" experience here at The Donkey Sanctuary. You will be having "hands on" experience of working with the donkeys. Activities include grooming, feeding and exercising them, making name collars and mucking out their stables!

We have two charity running places at this year’s Edinburgh Marathon , taking place on Sunday 23rd May 2010. If you're a keen runner and interested in entering the marathon, would you like to help raise money for the donkeys?
