Donkey sanctuary closure date confirmed with animals set to be sold to new homes

Tony Scott of Scotty's Donkeys and Animal Park, Norton, which will close next month

The visitor attraction has more than 100 animals and offers activities such as donkey rides, a bouncy castle and a picnic area, but is now to close with the land they lease being returned to the owners and all the donkeys and other animals sold off. "This really is a last resort that we didn’t want to happen. These animals have been a huge part of our lives and have brought us so much comfort and enjoyment, even through the toughest of winters and the lonely days through Covid.

"We have seen people with dementia who don’t know their own names, but once they are with the animals they recite stories from their child hoods, and their children’s childhood - this is some what bitter sweet. Even just last weekend, whilst visiting a nursing home, we got to experience the joy and wonder our animals are able to provide to people of all ages.
