Quiet Reflection and Closure

12 September 2022

We want to let everyone know that the Sanctuary will remain open for visitors. Please feel free to come and visit us and use our grounds for quiet reflection, and of course to visit the donkeys.



However, we have made the decision that on Monday 19th September, the official date for Queen Elizabeth's funeral, we will be closing the Sanctuary. The closure will be for one day and the Sanctuary will re open at the usual time of 10am on Tuesday 20th September.
