This summer, find the lost pieces of the coast and become a Donkey Sanctuary Explorer.
Calling all intrepid explorers! We need your help to find the lost pieces of the coast. Hidden around the Sanctuary are eight Jurassic Coast boards. Using your trail sheet, search high and low for each board, making sure to say hello to any donkeys you see on the way! At each location, match the lost item you find with one of your stickers and place it on your sheet.
Once you have discovered all the items collect your prize!
This entertaining activity combines family fun, exercise and brainpower and is just £5 per trail, including a prize on completion. Plus, opportunities to dress up as an explorer and take photos like you're on the Jurassic Coast!
After you win your prize, listen to our daily talk, experience scenic walks, engaging exhibits, or our award-winning restaurant and, of course, hundreds of adorable donkeys to meet, there's so much to explore with your own herd, whatever the weather.
Take sanctuary in our Taste of the West award-winning restaurant, The Kitchen, and enjoy fresh, local, seasonal produce while soaking in the unparalleled coast and country views. Breakfasts, lunches and tempting afternoon treats are dished up daily, with every penny of profit helping donkeys and mules around the world.
Before heading home, browse our Gift Shop at leisure in the knowledge that every purchase goes towards helping donkeys in need. Packed with unique donkey-design items and souvenirs, you will find something for everyone.
