The Donkey Sanctuary, Ireland

We are currently caring for over 1,800 donkeys. Over four hundred of these donkeys reside in private homes throughout the country as part of our rehoming scheme and the remainder of the donkeys are based in our four farms in the Liscarroll area. Knockardbane Farm is our Open Farm and it is home to 134 donkeys. This farm is open to the public 365 days a year from 9am until 5pm. There are beautiful walkways to enjoy with stunning scenery and donkeys and mules to admire. There is a Visitor Centre and picnic area on site and we are proud to welcome over 50,000 visitors per year. Admission and parking are free. We consider that, being a charity dependent on the support of the public, visitors should be able to see our work free of charge.
