Yesterday was a fantastic day here at Pennywort Mill!

We welcomed a lovely group of local childminders and their little ones for an up-close and personal animal encounter, and it was a brilliant first test of this style of large group session.

The children got to meet some of our animals, enjoy a little hand feeding, and follow a treasure hunt around the smallholding with a few trick-or-treat surprises along the way.

We then slowed things down with some quieter activities, including colouring sheets and a design-your-own pumpkin to take home.

To finish the session, everyone enjoyed a picnic and some playtime in our play area — the perfect way to round off a busy morning.

It was a really nice mix of animals, exploring, seasonal fun, creative activities and free play, and it gave us plenty of ideas for future childminder, home-ed and small group sessions.

We’ll be sharing more of these over the coming weeks, alongside our private family animal encounters.

We’re delighted to officially welcome Ambria to Pennywort Mill, who’ll be helping us bring our new Animal Encounters to life.

It’s something we’ve wanted to develop for quite a while. We already have the animals, the setting and plenty of ideas - what we were missing was the time to give the experiences the attention they deserve.
That’s where Ambria comes in.

Together, we’ll be creating relaxed, hands-on animal experiences where visitors can spend proper time with some of the residents here at Pennywort Mill - meeting, feeding, grooming and learning about them, with our private encounters finishing with a walk alongside our miniature donkeys.
We’re starting small, with limited private encounters, before developing things further over the coming months.

Alongside our family experiences, we’ll also be working on dedicated opportunities for home-educated children, SEND families, childminders and community groups, giving people the chance to experience the animals and smallholding in a calm and supportive environment.

Our first encounters are now available to discover online.

Welcome to the team, Ambria - we’re really excited to see where this goes.

Unfortunately we’ve had to postpone quite a few Pennywort Mill Miniature Donkeys visit due to the relentless heat.

We did manage to get out to Camplehaye Residential Home in a recent lull!

Button and Mimi had a wonderful time.

Hopefully we can catch up on more visits soon!

What a fantastic day we had at Callington Primary School PSA Summer Fair at Callington Primary School 🫏💚

Our donkeys loved meeting everyone and taking part in the meet-and-greets and donkey walks. It was wonderful to see so many smiling faces and to be part of such a special day for the children.

A huge thank you to Callington Primary School for inviting us and to everyone who came along to say hello. We always enjoy bringing the donkeys out into our local community, and days like today remind us just how much joy these gentle characters can bring.

We hope everyone had as much fun as Button and Mimi did! 🥰

The donkeys have been keeping busy! 🫏💚

Last week they had a wonderful day at St Sampson’s Church Medieval Fete, meeting lots of visitors and bringing plenty of smiles.

Today they’re off to Callington Primary School for meet-and-greets and donkey walks as part of the school’s summer celebrations. We can’t wait to help make some more special memories!

It’s always a pleasure sharing our gentle donkeys with the local community. ❤️
