Every year The Donkey Sanctuary holds this unique week’s holiday, relaxing down among the donkeys in Devon where there is plenty to do throughout the week. 

Activities on offer during Donkey Week include guest speakers, social events, wildlife walks, demonstrations and plenty of opportunities to meet the donkeys throughout the week.

Daily trips are arranged to visit our outlying farms, which are not usually open to the public. Each farm has different qualities and at all farms, visitors can take tractor trailer rides to see the beautiful views or meet the donkeys enjoying the spring sunshine. For our fitter visitors there are some fantastic walks.
