We've had Real Donkeys at an event before and just had to have them back as part of the Curiosity Festival at Crow Nest Park in Dewsbury. Mark is great with communication and organisation, and the team he send out are fantastic with children and families. Set up was quick and efficient, as was pack down and they fully cleared up after themselves! The donkey's are beautifully kept and incredibly gentle and we hope to bring them back in future!

Thank you to Mark and his team for helping to bring the Seaside to Guiseley. The donkeys were very well behaved and nothing was too much trouble. We also had a lot of great feedback from the public! We’re looking forward to having the donkeys back for our Christmas event. Thank you again!

Hi Mark
Thank you very much for bringing your two donkeys to my Daughters wedding in Kilnsey this weekend. They were a great adition to an allready great day. The family children loved them and a donkey will definatly be on some of there Christmas lists this year haha. The service you and your team provide is top draw from planning the day with yourself to the promted arrival of the donkeys on the day. Both donkeys were well behaved and looked beautiful, we will definatly be booking again. Thank you

The team turned up to our event with plenty of time to go, they was patient with waiting around too for people to come through the doors, the visitors to the event took to the donkeys really well and the gentlemen was a credit to the team they was outstanding and nothing was to much trouble even seen them carrying spade around which they didn't need to do, especially as our event features other live animals that don't clean up after themselves but these gentleman nothing was to much trouble people loved them and id have them at any outdoor public event!

Mark was a pleasure to deal with, reassuring and accommodating. Nothing was too much trouble and speedy and efficient response to queries.
The team that arrived on the day of the fete were punctual, friendly and very well organised.
Donkey's looked so healthy and happy. Every child left their donkey ride experience with a huge smile on their faces.
A huge Thankyou to Mark, Chad and Team. Hope your available for our next fete!.

This is the second time we have hired donkeys for our school summer fayre. The children absolutely loved them! Mark and his team are all fantastic and we will definitely be rebooking them next year.

The Year 2 children had a fantastic time meeting Dylan and Danny as part of out beach day at school. Mark and Carl were brilliant with the children and really helped to make our beach day fun and exciting. Thank you!

Excellent communication with Mark, very responsive to emails. We had 3 donkeys arrive for our 'Great Get Together' event, they were very well groomed and extremely healthy. The staff Gemma and Steve were very pleasant to deal with too. Would highly recommend hiring these donkeys, they went down a treat with the children who attended our event. We will definitely be booking them again.

Three donkeys visited our school fun day, the staff and children all loved it. The donkeys were well behaved and looked very smart and well groomed. A fantastic day and a wonderful experience for our children. Great service and communication from Mark, we would highly recommend Real Donkeys and we will definitely use them again for future events.

We had two donkeys join us for a celebration of 'Palm Sunday'. It was a wonderful way to start our Easter. The animals were both very well behaved, and a big hit with the children. Would definitely use again - and recommend to others - without reservation.
