Quick Details
Take our two beautiful miniature Mediterranean donkeys for a leisurely walk around their ancient orchard home, feed them their favourite nibbles and, if the donkeys are in the mood, give them a brush when they get home. Experiences lasts around 30 minutes, depending on the speed of the donkey on the day. This experience is for a miniature donkey walk for two people. Includes entry to Huckleberry Woods micro animal adventures for two people for up to two hours.
You’ll have plenty of opportunity to stroke the donkeys, feed them their favourite nibbles, take photos and ask questions during your walk. You can stop to greet the micro pigs, alpacas, Teddy Bear sheep, ducks and chickens as you go. You’ll be accompanied on your walk by a Huckleberry Woods donkey handler to help you and your donkey stay safe and happy.
This experience is weather dependent as donkeys hate getting wet. If it’s pouring with rain the donkeys won’t come out of their stable, so if the weather is looking bad please check with us by calling before you set off, as your experience may have to be postponed.
All prices include VAT.
This experience is enjoyable for two adults or sensible children over 9 years of age.
(Younger children aren’t able to accompany the donkeys on their walk. If you have a child younger than 9 years old in your party you will have to bring another adult with you to supervise the child while the donkey walk is taking place. Children younger than 9 will not be permitted to accompany you on the donkey walk. It is not possible to walk our donkeys and carry a child at the same time).
This experience is unsuitable for anyone who is unsteady on their feet.
Friends and family are welcome to visit Huckleberry Woods while you’re walking your donkeys. They’ll need a spectator or visitor entry ticket to watch (under 9s will have to remain in the main orchard and cannot accompany the walk).
Your miniature donkey experience will last around 30 minutes, depending on the speed of the donkeys on the day. Your experience will take place at some point during our 2-hour session, but not necessarily as soon as you arrive. You’re welcome to stay for the rest of the session to mingle with our other animals in the orchard.
There are friendly, free ranging animals wandering around the orchard. Do be prepared for them to get up close.
Huckleberry Woods is not a gravel pathway, chemical weed killer type of place – but a wild, back-to-nature type of place. It’s located in a small private orchard and is charming and understated rather than large, slick and commercial. It’s not the sort of place where you rush between loads of animal enclosures, vending machines and other distractions. A visit here offers an hour or two of peace and serenity. Time to relax. Time to ‘be’ not just ‘do’ and time to reconnect with nature. Please consider whether this type of relaxing experience is your cup of tea before booking. The experience is totally outside. Huckleberry Woods is a Covid secure venue.
If you’d like to order any animal food (one bag per booking to avoid the animals getting fat!), tea and cakes, or souvenirs; please add these to your basket before checking out as there are restricted on-site payment opportunities as part of our Covid policy.
If you’d like to buy a small amount of animal food (please restrict this to one bag per group to avoid the animals getting fat!), or tea and cakes and souvenirs – please add this to your online order as we’re not currently taking cash on site.
PLEASE REMEMBER TO WEAR CLOSED TOED FOOTWEAR FOR YOUR VISIT (NO FLIP FLOPS OR SANDALS). You won’t be able to come in with open toed footwear. This is for your safety.
Please do try and arrive on time at the beginning of your session. If you arrive late you might have a wait to be let in as we’ll usually be helping other people with animal experiences. Call 07929 871465 to tell us you’re waiting.
