ALMOST THE DONKEY DERBY 2023

This year will be the 32nd Donkey Derby - come along on 27th May for a great family day out.


The Burnham Donkey Derby has been organised by Burnham Beeches Rotary for over 30 years and during that time over £350,000 has been raised and donated to local charities and needy causes.

We call it the 'ALMOST' The Donkey Derby' because we no longer have donkey races but we do have everything else! This includes donkey rides, a wide variety of stalls, food, entertainment, beer tent, cake stall porsecco tent and a funfair. Come along on 27th May - 12 noon to 5 pm. If you are a potential stall holder follow the link for more information and how to register.
