Forty decorated donkeys are ready to the streets of Weston-super-Mare. The donkeys, which are made from fibreglass and resin, are being sponsored by local businesses and will brighten up the town during the summer months.
Weston Grand Pier events co-ordinator Fiona Hooper sourced the donkeys from as far away as the Philippines and has been responsible for securing business sponsorship for them. The donkeys met up for the first time at a secret location in the town this week.
Some of the donkeys will be auctioned off on the Grand Pier for BBC Children in Need in November. The BBC will be on the Grand Pier filming during the auction.
One of the donkeys will be raffled off, which will give a local person the chance to win a donkey. Another donkey will be turned into a money box for Weston Hospice. The donkeys are being painted by artists from all over the South West region.
