Join the Spooktacular Pumpkin Hunt for Drizzle’s birthday!
In the cosy Sidmouth sanctuary where our herds like to play,
Drizzle the donkey celebrates her Halloween birthday!
With the map in hand, make sure to search high and low,
Tick them off your trail sheet as through the sanctuary you go.
Hidden pumpkins of all shapes and sizes to see,
Count each one and shout with glee!
When all are found, you’ll see the age that's true.
Discover the answer to win your prize just for you!
Running from 30 September to 3 November, bring the family together for an unforgettable day of fun, exploration, and discovery. For just £5 per trail, challenge yourself, get active, and enjoy quality time—complete the trail to claim your prize! Pick up your trail sheet from the Gift Shop, bundle up in your warm clothes, and don’t forget your wellies—it’s time to explore!
Plus with daily talks, scenic walks, engaging exhibits, our award-winning restaurant and, of course, hundreds of adorable donkeys to meet, there’s so much to explore with your own herd, whatever the weather.
Take sanctuary in our Taste of the West award-winning restaurant, The Kitchen, and enjoy fresh, local, seasonal produce while soaking in the unparalleled coast and country views. Breakfasts, lunches and tempting afternoon treats are dished up daily, with every penny of profit helping donkeys and mules around the world.
Before heading home, browse our Gift Shop at leisure in the knowledge that every purchase goes towards helping donkeys in need. Packed with unique donkey-design items and souvenirs, you will find something for everyone.
Make the day your own, but above all else, fall in love with our herds of donkeys.
From humble beginnings as a UK rescue mission 50 years ago, The Donkey Sanctuary has grown into one of the world’s largest equine welfare charities.
General admission and parking at the sanctuary are FREE (donations welcome). Dogs on leads are welcome.
