Visiting Opportunities under COVID19 restrictions

Private Pre-booked Visits/Walks ONLY

Available from July 13th

Dyfi Donkeys will be re-opening on 13th July. Hurrah! 

We understand for people's health and well being ( and parent's sanity) a visit to the donkeys may be just what the doctor should be ordering. 

Currently COVID19 social distancing guidance ( still 2m in Wales) mean that it is impossible for us to run our normal open days safely.

Therefore we are opening to private pre-booked groups - visitors will be limited to single households or members of the same "care bubble/extended household" only.

These visits will take place in Dyfi Donkey Wood and can be booked for one or two hours. You will have exclusive access to the donkeys, woodland and picnic area and Louise will be happy to supervise any portion of your visit. Special measures are available to allow access to the donkeys for anyone with mobility issues- please advise if this is needed on booking.
.
We will also be offering guided donkey walks, again to the same group format, these will include two donkeys for visitors to lead and we will walk through local woodland for approximately 2 hours. Terrain is mixed and therefore participants need to have a reasonable level of fitness and mobility. We apologise that at this time we cannot make this available to those with mobility issues.



Special COVID 19 Prices

One hour visit for upto 4 people            £45  - £5 per additional person .
Additional hour in Dyfi Donkey woods     £20
Guided donkey walks                           £70 
LOCALS DISCOUNT OFFER - Many local people are experiencing financial hardship so we are offering a COVID 19 1/3rd off first hour ( please give your home postcode on booking to see if you qualify)

Booking is ONLY via email dyfidonkeys@btinternet.com or phone 07717020344 - availability is limited to only two sets of visitors per day so early booking is advised if you intend to visit during your holiday in Wales.

Dyfi Donkeys have a full set of biosecurity measures in place to ensure your safety and will be asking all visitors for full home contact details in case we need to undertake "contact trace" measures, you will be asked to sign that you agree to adhere to our policies.

Full details of our policies/measures here 

if you require any more information please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Dyfi Donkeys introduce VIRTUAL DONKEY VISITS

Dyfi Donkeys introduce Virtual Donkey Visits

In response to the COVID 19 restrictions Dyfi Donkeys are head over heels to announce that you can now book a 30 minute virtual donkey visit.



Are you trapped indoors in an urban environment and craving the peace of the natural world and something a little different? Dyfi Donkeys may have the answer.

With current technology at our finger tips we are offering 30 minutes of REAL donkey time via Whatsapp. This 30 minute virtual visit will be entirely guided by your wishes.

You could sit in the field with the donkeys just watching them with no verbal interaction, you could request a donkey hunt through Dyfi Donkey woods,you could go on a donkey walk with the donkeys or you could spend your 30 minutes watching the donkeys as Louise lets you into their secrets. The choice is entirely yours. 

So if you are bored , sat at home alone ,or the kids are driving you up the walls, consider something really unique to do. 

Cost is a suggested donation between £20 to £35 payable on booking - you pick what you can afford/think it's worth.

For every paid for Virtual Visit DYFI DONKEYS will donate a virtual well-being session through our local mental health and well-being charities/organisations. So you can get a little donkey love and also share a little donkey love too.

Call 07717020344 or email dyfidonkeys@btinternet.com to book a virtual visit.
