Holiday Open Days 2026

On three Sundays before our winter break, the Sanctuary opens its gates for Holiday Open Days, giving visitors the chance to experience a different season at the DSC Farm. Crisp air and snowy landscapes create a unique and memorable atmosphere for animal lovers of all ages. Visitors can enjoy spending time with the donkeys and mules in their winter surroundings and also browse the Long Ears Boutique for holiday gift shopping.

Our final Holiday Open Day on December 13 brings the season to a close with a special Candlelight Carols celebration. We're delighted to welcome back The Braytones, whose festive music will help make the afternoon even more memorable.
