Each year at the end of May we hold a 3-day Book Fair in McGregor to raise funds for our work as a Donkey Sanctuary. This year's Book Fair was postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

From October to December 2020 we present fantastic Book Sales at the Sanctuary, from Thursdays to Sundays from 10am - 4pm. Stocks are refreshed regularly. Do come and browse, find the perfect gifts for loved ones and spoil yourself with first-class reading matter in all categories.

Thank you for your support!

St Francis Day - celebrating animal welfare

Our annual St Francis Day event will take on a different form this year.

Make every day a day to honour animals. Spend a while in our tranquil gardens: enjoy the beauty of creation, contemplate and meditate on all that is good and beautiful. We invite you to place a stone on our Memorial Cairns at any time that we are open, to honour the memory of a departed loved one, animal or human.
