UK Carols by Candlelight Concert-The Donkey Sanctuary

[shyvas]

This is a unique event which will take place this afternoon (4 PM UK time) called carols by candlelight that will take place in the main barn together with the donkeys. Join them via the webcam.

Setting the scene and adding a touch of magic to the evening’s proceedings, the sanctuary will be spectacularly illuminated by thousands of candles.

Christmas caroling commences at 5pm in Main Barn surrounded by lots of friendly donkeys – who may even join in!

For those who are unable to join us here at the sanctuary, the webcam sound in Main Barn will be turned on between 3pm and 7pm, allowing you to enjoy the service from the comfort of your own home.

It’s 3 pm here and I’m wondering why the donkeys are just moseying around in the barn.

It's over. I watched it as well as many thousands of people both in the UK and abroad. It's really a lovely event.

This is a wonderful charity. The lucky donkeys that have been rescued from a miserable life, can spend the end of their lives in peace and enjoy happiness. They are such wonderful creatures.

I just tried to access the link in Shyvas' first post, but was denied access. Frankly, I was wondering if it was a good idea to have a jillion candles in a barn... but maybe they were just scattered here and there to provide atmosphere, away from anything combustible?....

That's because the event is over. The thousands of candles are lit up outside the main barn lining the pathways. I watch it every year via the webcam and it really is quite a magical event.

Shelter 1

Shelter 1 is home to a group of very friendly donkeys and is also where you’ll find adoption donkey Drizzle. Can you spot her among the herd?
