No booking required

Can you guess which adoption donkeys are hiding behind our stable doors? Soak up the sun at The Donkey Sanctuary and find out!

Think you know everything there is to know about our nine adoption donkeys here at Sidmouth? Let’s put your knowledge to the test with our newest summer trail.

We have put together some crafty clues to help you uncover these nine hidden identities. You might not guess them straight away – that’s okay!

Match the donkeys to their traits and once you have finished, you’ll receive a prize!

Combine family fun, exercise and brainpower for just £5 per trail, including a prize when you complete the trail. Head to the Gift Shop or The Shed to pick up a trail sheet and you’re ready to uncover who is hiding where.

Plus with a new play area, daily talks, scenic walks, engaging exhibits, award-winning gardens and, of course, hundreds of adorable donkeys to meet, there’s so much to explore with your own herd, whatever the weather. Friendly dogs on leads are welcome too!
