Our award-winning virtual event was back for another fantastic festive special! Join us as we head to Paccombe Farm, home to over 250 donkeys.
Join us as we head behind-the scenes, meeting the team at Paccombe Farm and checking in on some of the farm's residents, including three adorable foals who were born into our care last spring.
Sadly, we were unable to invite visitors along to enjoy our Carols by Candlelight event this year, so we premiered a full-length virtual carol concert, performed and recorded at The Donkey Sanctuary Sidmouth.
You can watch the videos on this page or via our YouTube channel.
Ready to get into the Christmas spirit? Sit back, relax and enjoy a festive evening at the sanctuary from the comfort of your sofa.
