Wish ‘mule-tide’ greetings to your family with a trio of events at the Donkey Sanctuary.
The opening event is the Christmas Fair on the weekend of November 24 and 25 and is the ideal way to kick start your festive season.
Entrance to the fair costs £2 per person with under 12s going free.
On the same weekend, the sanctuary will open its doors for Walter’s Winter Checklist.
Walter is a donkey at the sanctuary and you can find out what special treatment he and his friends need to keep healthy and warm in the winter.

The trail will run through winter and costs £3 including a prize and certificate.
In the final run up to Christmas, thousands of candles will illuminate the centre for Carols by Candlelight. The 45-minute carol service will be preceded by a host of merry tunes.
