From 2 March 2026, additional repairs will be carried out to an embankment in the area. We’re open 7 days a week throughout the roadworks and would love to welcome you to the sanctuary.

Mother's Day is Sunday 15 March this year. There’s no better way to show your mum just how special she is than by spending quality time together at the sanctuary, surrounded by our gentle donkeys. Add delicious food and thoughtful gifts into the mix and you’ve found the perfect way to celebrate the special lady in your life and her special day at the Isle of Wight Donkey Sanctuary.
