Meet Father Christmas and the Donkeys
Enjoy an unforgettable festive experience with the whole family this December! Meet our adorable donkeys and Father Christmas in his cosy grotto. Discover fascinating facts about our gentle donkeys and meet the excitable elves who help care for them during this most magical time of year. Meet our friendly donkeys and share your Christmas wishes with Father Christmas. Remember to bring your Christmas list, addressed to the North Pole, to post in the stable’s enchanted mailbox. Every child's ticket includes a special Moel Famau Donkeys gift. This is a full 30-minute experience, where you will have plenty of time to groom the donkeys and meet Father Christmas. All children must be accompanied by a paying adult. Children aged 1 and under do not require a ticket unless you want them to receive a gift. Each session has limited spaces to ensure a personal and memorable experience.
Charity Donkey Dash
Join us for our annual charity Donkey Dash! Embark on a heart-warming adventure across the beautiful Clwydian Range with our six miniature Mediterranean donkeys in aid of The Joshua Tree, supporting families affected by childhood cancer. Enjoy breathtaking views as we traverse the donkey's favourite mountain terrain, finishing at the iconic Jubilee Tower on the summit of Moel Famau. To add to the festive spirit, every adult participant will receive a Father Christmas outfit to wear. Children are encouraged to wear warm, festive outfits. The total round-trip distance is 6 miles. Please note that the first 3 miles are uphill. For safety and comfort, we recommend that younger children be secured in a robust sling or carrier. The trek typically lasts around 4 hours. We will set off from our stable at Moel Famau Donkeys (CH7 5SJ) at 10am. For every ticket sale, £10 (adult ticket) and £5 (child ticket) will be donated to The Joshua Tree.
