Take part in an enrichment workshop where you will create beneficial enrichment toys for the donkeys, followed by a donkey talk about the sanctuary, before a donkey-inspired afternoon tea. Set with a view of the rolling Jurassic coast, watch donkeys roam free over tea, scones and cakes as part of the annual Taste East Devon Food Festival. Our food event will be for one day only, so don’t miss out on this exclusive opportunity.
