International Donkey Week

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.
Every year The Donkey Sanctuary holds this unique week's holiday, relaxing down among the donkeys.
