Island Farm Donkey Sanctuary – Great to see you here!

Island Farm Donkey Sanctuary is a registered charity that cares for ill-treated and neglected donkeys and other animals. Although we do not actively rescue other animals, those that have joined us in recent years include a sheep, some goats, chickens, geese and ducks.

Located on the edge of the village of Brightwell-cum-Sotwell near Wallingford, Oxfordshire, we welcome visitors between 11am and 4pm daily. Although we do not charge an entrance fee, donations are appreciated. We are unable to allow dogs (although Assistance Dogs are allowed) in the main yard as donkeys and strange dogs do not mix. Donkeys wander around the yard so this rule is for your dogs safety. Dogs are allowed in the front paddock walkway on a lead.
