Find me in the Animal Barn

Meet Harry

Hi, I’m Harry the Donkey, born on September 9, 2015. I arrived at the farm with my best friend Joy in October 2017, and we’ve been inseparable ever since. I’m also the proud dad to Monty, one of our younger donkeys here at Attwell Farm.

I’m known for being gentle, affectionate, and a bit of a snuggler - I love attention from visitors and our farm team. You can often hear me braying loudly at feeding time; it’s my way of letting everyone know I’m ready for my favourite hay and straw mix!

In winter, I stay cozy inside the Animal Barn with Joy and Monty, while in summer you’ll spot me relaxing in the paddocks along the Paddock Walk. Whether I’m munching hay, playing with my friends, or getting cuddles, I’m always happiest when surrounded by company.
