Traditional, friendly & memorable
Donkey rides and donkey experiences for Essex events
Create a memorable attraction with friendly donkeys for family events, private celebrations, weddings, fetes and community days.
Where conditions allow
Supervised donkey rides
Where the venue, ground conditions, rider suitability and animal welfare allow, supervised donkey rides can be included as part of an event booking.
Before confirming rides, we will ask about the location, surface, available route, expected attendance and the age range of visitors. All rider requirements are confirmed for each booking.
A calmer alternative
Donkey meet-and-greets
Donkeys can also attend without rides, giving guests the chance to meet them, learn about them and enjoy photographs in a calmer setup. This can work especially well for weddings, parties, school events and venues where riding is not suitable.

What we need to know
Help us plan the right setup
- Your date, postcode and event timings
- Event type and expected visitor numbers
- Vehicle access and parking
- Available riding or display area
- Ground surface, shelter and wet-weather plans
- Any venue or risk-assessment requirements
The final activities always depend on the venue, conditions and welfare of the donkeys attending.

Welfare comes first
Happy animals make the best experiences
Every visit is planned around the venue, the people attending and the comfort of the animals. Activities may change if weather, health, rest or welfare considerations make a different plan kinder or safer.
