New addition to the Sewerby family is Daffodil the Donkey, who used live with Sewerby’s resident donkey Princess years ago.

Their previous home was Cannon Hall Farm near Barnsley, which has been featured on Channel 5.

    "I am so pleased that we have been able to take in Daffodil, who has been retired from breeding now, and is with us to enjoy excellent care here, and a happy retirement.

    “It’s particularly pleasing that Daffodil can now renew her great friendship with Princess here at Sewerby Hall and Gardens. Both donkeys knew each other at Cannon Hall Farm, and were very friendly there. It's really good that they have been reunited; they are just loving running around and playing together once again."
