Donkeys seem to be all the rage in South Woodham Ferrers.
Following the success of films Shrek and Shrek 2, donkeys have become more popular with children, so Marsh Farm, in Marsh Farm Road, is holding a donkey day this weekend.
The Riffhams donkey group will bring 12 donkeys to the farm on Sunday.
From 11am to 12.30pm visitors can meet the donkeys and their handlers, as well as watch demonstrations and talks about them. From 1.30pm to 3.30pm, there will be gymkhana games.
There will also be a pin the tail on the donkey game and guess the donkey's name competition running throughout the day.
