   Isle of Wight Donkey Sanctuary

   Coffee & Cake Offer in January

   You’ll always find a warm welcome at the Isle of Wight Donkey Sanctuary, whatever the weather (and even with the odd road closure!). Winter is a lovely time to visit, offering a calm and unhurried way to enjoy everything the sanctuary has to offer.

   Wander at your own pace around the grounds and barns and say hello to more than 100 donkeys, along with ponies, a mule and a horse. Afterwards, make your way to our café for a well-deserved treat. From 1 to 31 January 2026, enjoy £1.50 off when you purchase a coffee and cake together.

   Our cake selection is freshly updated and always tempting whether you love a Vicky Sponge or an oaty flapjack!  Accompany by your favourite coffee and you’ve got the perfect pick-me-up for long, dark January days.

   The Isle of Wight Donkey Sanctuary, including café and shop are open daily from 10.30am to 3pm.

   This offer is available seven days a week throughout January 2026.
