Hide and Treat at The Donkey Sanctuary this October

Visitors to The Donkey Sanctuary in Sidmouth are in for a spooktacular treat this October with the Hide and Treat Halloween Hunt.

Hidden around the sanctuary are specially created Halloween crocheted character ‘Neddies’, which people can discover following the clues on their trail sheet.

This fangtastic activity combines family fun, exercise and brainpower. Trail sheets cost £5 each and includes a treat on completion.

The crocheted character ‘Neddies’ must be seen to be appreciated and are the work of talented supporter Judith Crockford. Over the years Judith has created hundreds of individually themed ‘Neddies’, helping to raise funds for The Donkey Sanctuary.

Set in the heart of the East Devon countryside, autumn is the perfect time to get out and about and discover the Sidmouth sanctuary.

There are daily talks, scenic walks, engaging exhibits, award-winning gardens and of course, hundreds of adorable donkeys to meet.

When it’s time for a break, the Taste of the West award-winning onsite restaurant ‘The Kitchen’ is the perfect place to take sanctuary. Breakfasts, lunches and tempting afternoon treats are served daily, alongside unrivalled views of the Weston valley to the sparkling sea beyond. 

Before heading home, visit the Gift Shop to pick up a donkey-inspired gift or souvenir, in the knowledge that every purchase helps the charity support donkeys and mules in need.

The Donkey Sanctuary Sidmouth is open seven days a week, from 9am to 5pm. Entry to the sanctuary is free, as is parking, and dogs on leads are welcome.

The Hide and Treat Halloween Hunt runs from 4 – 31 October.
