Closed to the public, with five open days held between May and September.

Situated near Buxton, our Derbyshire sanctuary covers almost 20 acres. Although not open to the general public, we do hold several events and courses for visitors to meet the staff and interact with the donkeys. Discover our next open day.

Dog-friendly

We welcome well behaved dogs on site, but they must be kept on a lead at all times.
