🎄✨ Christmas at The Wee Donkey Company! 🫏

We’re very excited to announce that we’ll be hosting our very first Christmas visits on Saturday 28th & Sunday 29th November! 🎅

As this is our first year running Christmas events, we’ve decided to keep things small and run just one weekend.

We’re a little behind with preparations following a very busy year (much busier than we ever expected, so thank you so much ❤️). Rather than stretching ourselves too far over the Christmas period, we’d much rather take our time and make sure we get everything just right.

So, what can you expect? 🎄

✨ Private family time with our miniature donkeys, including plenty of grooming, cuddles and Christmas photos!

🦌 Make your own magical reindeer food ready for Christmas Eve.

🍪 Decorate a festive donkey gingerbread to take home.

✉️ Write a letter to Father Christmas and deliver it to our very own Elf Post Office!

☕ Festive refreshments and treats available

We’ll be keeping the sessions small and personal, with plenty of time to enjoy the activities and soak up a little Christmas magic.

Bookings should be live by the end of this week! 🎟️

Everyone subscribed to our mailing list will receive an email as soon as bookings open, along with a direct booking link with further details.

We can’t wait to welcome you for our very first Wee Donkey Christmas! 🫏🎄❤️

🎄🐴 CHRISTMAS DONKEY ADOPTIONS ARE BACK! 🐴🎄

We’ve been a little quiet on here recently, busy playing catch-up after a very busy year! ❤️

We’re excited to announce that our 2027 donkey adoptions are NOW AVAILABLE TO PRE-ORDER! 🎁

Looking for a Christmas gift that’s a little bit different? Why not give someone the gift of their very own donkey to love for a whole year? 🥰

So, what’s included in your adoption?

🎁 A personalised adoption pack containing:
🐴 Your choice of socks, an enamel mug or a donkey teddy
🔑 A keyring featuring your adopted donkey
📜 A personalised adoption certificate
🛍️ A Wee Donkey tote bag
💌 A welcome letter and fact file all about your donkey

And the best bit? The fun doesn’t stop when Christmas is over!

❤️ A private visit with your adopted donkey, worth £65!
📸 Updates on your donkey throughout the year
🎟️ First dibs on our events
🛍️ 10% off merchandise and additional private visits

Your adoption runs from 25th December 2026 to 25th December 2027, giving you a whole year of donkey love! ❤️

📮 All adoption packs will be posted out in November, ready to pop under the Christmas tree.

🎄 We’re only offering adoptions at Christmas this year, so this is your opportunity to join our donkey family for 2027!

Every adoption helps us continue caring for our much-loved donkeys, and we’re so grateful for your support.

And that’s a wrap on our 2026 visits! 🫏🤎

Here are a few photos of our final week in action before we closed our doors for October. 🥰

Thank you so much to everyone who has visited us this year, supported our little business and, most importantly, given our donkeys lots of love (and treats!) along the way.

We’re now closed throughout October while we get everything ready for our first ever Christmas with the Donkeys 🎄🫏✨

🎅 Christmas event dates & booking will be released very soon!

Just running just a little behind getting everything finalised after being struck down with the lurgy 🤧 — but getting there!

Keep an eye on our socials, or sign up on our website to be the first to know when Christmas bookings go live. 🎄✨

A few lovely moments from the past week at The Wee Donkey Company 🫏💛

We’ve had meet-and-greets, adoption visits, private visits and birthday parties — we’re really getting into the swing of those now! Orla had a bit of trailer training too, and hopped straight in after about five seconds. Very proud of her 🥹

Thank you to everyone who sent these photos in! If anyone has any more, please send them my way. My phone was needed by the lovely Tess, who was holding the fort in the café and shop after our system decided to completely break 😂

We’ve got one last busy week of visits before we close to get ready for Christmas! 🎄

This Sunday (27th September)at The Wee Donkey Company 🫏🤎

I’d originally kept this Sunday free just in case I needed the day to rearrange any visits cancelled due to bad weather — but luckily we’ve been pretty lucky! ☀️

So I’ve opened up a few Meet & Greet sessions for the morning and over lunchtime, which are available to book now through the website. https://www.theweedonkeycompany.co.uk/services-4-1

Then from 1–3pm we’ll be open for drop-ins.Pop in for a selection of hot or cold drinks and a brownie, enjoy the views, have a browse around the little shop, find out about Christmas events, adoption packs etc and head over to feed the pigs too 🐷

Please note, there won’t be any hands-on donkey experiences during the drop-in afternoon. 🫏

See you Sunday! 🤎

Here are a few lovely shots from some of our recent visits with the donkeys 🫏🤎

We can’t quite believe we’re nearly at the end of our season already!

Our final Meet & Greet before we close for the season is next Saturday, 19th September, and we only have a few spaces left.

Come along, meet the donkeys, enjoy some hands-on donkey time and, of course, say hello to our gorgeous little Orla too 🥰

If you’d prefer a little more time with the donkeys, we also still have some Friday availability for Private Visits before the end of the season.

Both Meet & Greets and Private Visits can be booked through our website https://www.theweedonkeycompany.co.uk/services-4-1🤎🫏

Little Orla has been absolutely loving meeting everyone — and judging by this reaction, the feeling is mutual 🤣

🫏 Miniature Donkey Meet & Greets – a few spaces left! 🫏

We have very limited availability this Saturday (15th), but still have a few slots available this Friday (14th) for our Miniature Donkey Meet & Greets! 🤎

Come and spend some time with our lovely little herd, including meeting our newest arrival, baby Orla 🥹🫏 and pigs Betty, Penelope and mum pig!🐽

Our adult-only sessions are already sold out – apologies to anyone who missed out! If Friday fills up, I’ll do my best to add an extra slot where I can.

I’m also hoping to squeeze in one more Meet & Greet date in September before we close until our Christmas events, although I can’t guarantee this just yet.

Thank you so much for bearing with us while we find our feet after opening for visits. We’ve had such amazing feedback so far and I’ve genuinely been blown away by all your support. 🤎

🍰 We’ll also have delicious Beeston Brownies, along with teas, coffees and cold drinks available to buy.

Head to our website for more information and to book 🫏✨https://www.theweedonkeycompany.co.uk/services-4-1

Birthday parties with the donkeys are now available! 🐴🎈

After lots of lovely enquiries, I decided to do a little tester party — and it went really well — so I’m now officially offering children’s birthday parties at The Wee Donkey Company.

Expect a fun, hands-on party with our miniature donkeys, including grooming, donkey-safe glittery hoof conditioner, bows and clips, a little donkey walk, Donkey Deli treat time, and a visit to our friendly rescue pigs.

Parties include exclusive use of the donkey experience and covered party space, with the option to bring your own food or add children’s lunch boxes.

I haven’t quite had chance to get everything onto the website yet, but the brochure is ready now and it’ll hopefully be added online over the next couple of weeks.

If you’d like the brochure or want to check a date, just email/message me and I’ll send over all the details.

Private small-group birthday visits are also available if you’d prefer something smaller and simpler.
