The donkey sanctuary in West Midlands perfect for day out this summer - free to visit and near country pub

Knowle Donkey Sanctuary located in Solihull is a perfect day out this summer and is free to visit.

The Sanctuary provides a safe and permanent home for rescued farmland animals, and currently has many cute and adorable donkey’s in their care.

The donkeys are highly social, and visitors are encouraged to pet, brush, and feed them approved dietary snacks.

While donkeys are the main attraction, the sanctuary also provides a home to other rescued animals like ponies, alpacas, goats, and small pets.

Entry and parking are completely free, though the sanctuary operates entirely on donations to fund animal welfare and new stable blocks.

The site features a cozy on-site cafe and shop serving hot brews, breakfast baps, and baked goods.

It is open on Saturdays and Sundays from 10am to 3pm.

The Sanctuary would make a great day out as you can pet and brush donkeys and also see other farm animals - so perfect for families or animal-lovers.

Not only this, but the Sanctuary is also located very near to beautiful canal-side walks and a country pub.

The King’s Arms pub in Knowle is situated nearby and sits near the canal, so you can pop in to have some food and drink and set off on a lovely walk.

You could visit the Sanctuary in the morning, pop to the pub after for some food and drink and then finish the day off with a lovely canal-side walk.

It’s a great day to be had in the West Midlands, and perfect for the summer.
