Dyfi Donkeys

Dyfi Donkeys are back visiting campus for De-Stress week!
If you’d like to meet the donkeys, we’re running 15 minutes slots so you can have some quality time interacting with the donkeys and learn more about them from their owner.
We’ll ask that on that day you give a donation of your choice and all money will go to the donkey sanctuary.
