Summer Days out at Dyfi Donkeys

Fancy a change from your group's normal summer outing? Looking for something a bit different?

How about a day out at Dyfi Donkeys? Suitable for wee ones or not so wee ones ; lets face it everyone loves a donkey! Its an old fashioned styled experience , we provide the space and animals you bring your imagination and energy. From May onwards you can visit Dyfi Donkeys by prior arrangement and during the summer months we hold public open days every wed and some sundays(check the events page for dates).


Come and see the donkeys in their natural environment and see what they get up to when they're not working on the beach. You can try to hunt them out in the woods; but they usually find you first and try your hand at grooming them in our woodland shelter.  Over 30 acres of wild natural reserve to explore with woodland, streams, meadows and riverbanks to wander along. Take part in our treasure hunt which changes with the seasons.We have a wealth of wild flowers and birds to spot and identify. Use the woods to build a den in .. group den building is addictive or maybe split in two and see who can build the best den.
While we don't have catering facilities on site it is the perfect place for a picnic. You can pitch up in Muffin's meadow which is in ht e donkey wood but donkeys are excluded or maybe find a spot down by the river.

A donkeytastic day out is waiting for you and your nursery group, school outing,seniors social club.. something for everyone.
( we have limited disabled access but we will ALWAYS get you up close and personal with a donkey).
Give us a call on 07717020344 or email at dyfidonkeys@btinternet.com : we'll give you donkey memories to cherish for years to come.
Visits also available on an hourly basis.
