Advertise. Sponsor. Make a Local Impact.
In 2026 we celebrate the 35th year of the Almost Donkey Derby – the largest community event held in Burnham Park and a much-loved tradition for families across the area.
Every pound raised through advertising and sponsorship is reinvested into local charities and community causes. Thanks to the generous support of previous advertisers and sponsors, we have been able to donate to organisations including Thames Valley Adventure Playground, Padstones, South Bucks Riding for the Disabled, Burnham Care and Share, and many other worthy local causes.
By advertising or sponsoring a donkey, you are not only gaining valuable local exposure, but also demonstrating clear commitment to the community you serve.
