Whether you’re a family looking for a memorable day out, an animal lover, or simply someone seeking a tranquil escape, Radcliffe Donkey Sanctuary is a must-visit destination.
The sanctuary is home to dozens of donkeys, each with its own personality and history. Visitors can enjoy spending time with the donkeys, petting them, and even learning their names and backstories. This close interaction creates a special bond, making it a unique experience for children and adults alike. The sanctuary’s team is passionate about animal welfare and provides informative talks to help visitors understand the importance of caring for these beautiful creatures.
Radcliffe Donkey Sanctuary is especially popular with families. Children love the chance to interact with the donkeys in a safe and welcoming environment, while parents appreciate the educational aspect of the visit. The sanctuary offers a relaxed pace, allowing visitors to explore the grounds, meet the donkeys, and soak in the countryside setting. For animal-loving children, it’s an unforgettable experience that combines fun with compassion.
The sanctuary’s mission goes beyond providing a home for donkeys. It actively works to raise awareness about animal welfare and the challenges donkeys face around the world. Every visit helps support their efforts, as the sanctuary relies on donations and visitor contributions to continue their vital work. This sense of purpose adds an extra layer of meaning to your visit, knowing you’re directly contributing to the wellbeing of these animals.
In addition to the donkeys, Radcliffe Donkey Sanctuary features other farm animals, adding to the charm and variety of the experience.

The sanctuary also hosts special events throughout the year, from open days to seasonal celebrations, adding to its appeal as a family-friendly destination.
While Radcliffe Donkey Sanctuary is a haven for animal lovers, it may not be the best fit for those seeking a high-energy or adrenaline-fuelled experience.
