Donkey Experience with Light Lunch - Polesworth
Overview
Spice Exclusive Visit!!
The Polesworth Donkey Sanctuary is an award winning animal rescue.
Today we get the opportunity to get 'hands on' with these gentle creatures.
In the past 18 months that the sanctuary has been open, they have rescued nearly a dozen donkeys, several goats, five pigs, and a number of sheep, chickens, ducks, and bunnies, providing them with a safe space to recover, heal, and live out the rest of their days with the love and care they deserved from the start.
We will get to walk, feed and groom the donkeys Angus, Darcy, Shadow, Fred and Rocky and then get to meet the goats. We can then move into the Donkey Diner and choose from a hot or cold sandwich. We can then continue our visit with a look around the other animals at the sanctuary.
