Meet Betty and Bertie for three hours of donkey walks, cuddles and plenty of character on this private experience for up to four adults. Take the pair for a walk around their four-acre field, feed and groom them, discover more about these gentle animals and watch Bertie show off his rather unexpected talent for donkey agility.
Once you've made two new long-eared friends, settle down to a homemade cream tea overlooking the field. You'll even leave with a donkey-related gift to remember Betty, Bertie and your day together.
Betty and Bertie aren't simply part of the experience, they're the personalities at the heart of it.
Bertie is the dinky donkey of the pair: cute, mischievous and ready to demonstrate his skills on the agility course. Yes, donkey agility really is a thing here.
Then there's Betty, a sweet and gentle standard donkey with a particular appreciation for a good back scratch.
You'll spend three hours getting properly acquainted with them, from walking around their four-acre field to feeding, grooming and cuddling them. Because the experience is private, it's just your group and the animals rather than a session shared with other visitors.
Afterwards, sit down to a homemade cream tea while you watch life continue in the field. It's a wonderfully relaxed way to round off an experience that's packed with animal interaction and personality.
It's a particularly thoughtful gift for someone who adores donkeys or would appreciate a slower-paced countryside experience with plenty of genuine animal interaction.

There's something particularly endearing about donkeys. Their long ears and expressive faces certainly help, but spending time with them also reveals individual personalities that aren't always obvious from a distance. On this experience, you'll get to know Betty's sweet, gentle nature and Bertie's more mischievous character for yourself.
Absolutely, and Betty and Bertie are a good example. Betty is described as sweet and gentle and particularly fond of a back scratch, while little Bertie has a mischievous streak. Getting to know those individual characters is one of the most enjoyable parts of spending time around the animals.
They're unusual, interactive and create memories rather than adding another present to the pile. This experience offers several different ways to interact with Betty and Bertie, from walking and grooming to feeding and cuddling them. Add cream tea and a donkey-related keepsake and it becomes a complete afternoon rather than a quick animal encounter.
Walking alongside an animal gives you a very different experience from simply seeing one in a field. Here, you'll take Betty and Bertie around their four-acre field, making the walk itself part of your time getting to know the pair.
Bertie can! One of the more unusual parts of this experience is watching him demonstrate his skills on the agility course. It's an unexpected addition to a donkey encounter and gives little Bertie another opportunity to show off his personality.
Grooming adds another hands-on element to the encounter and gives you more time close to Betty and Bertie. Rather than the experience revolving around one activity, you'll interact with the donkeys in several different ways throughout your visit.
It's an obvious match for donkey and animal lovers, but it could also suit someone who enjoys countryside experiences and quieter days out. The combination of animal interaction and cream tea makes it especially appealing to anyone who'd prefer a relaxed experience over something fast-paced.
It can make a lovely experience to share. Rather than simply going somewhere together, you'll have Betty and Bertie to meet, a donkey walk to enjoy and Bertie's agility skills to watch before sitting down together for cream tea.
The experience is reserved for your group rather than being shared with other visitors. That helps make the three hours feel more personal and gives your group the chance to enjoy meeting Betty and Bertie together.
It gives the day a lovely change of pace. After walking, feeding, grooming and cuddling Betty and Bertie, you can sit down together for sandwiches, scones and cakes while still overlooking the animals. It's a chance to relax and talk about the experience before heading home.
