  • Donkey in a Christmas hat
  • Christmas donkeys in festive outfits
  • Festive donkey on Swanage Pier

The friendly Christmas donkeys will be returning, ready to say hello for one day only, so make sure you head down to the pier between 11am – 4pm on the Saturday 14th December.

And brand new for 2024 – Santa’s reindeer will be visiting the pier on Saturday 21st December.

There’ll also be children’s entertainment and live music throughout the day.
