Paint Your Own Daphne the Donkey and Support Rescued Donkeys

Daphne the Donkey, Cocktails n Canvas’s newest creation for 2025, debuted at Frankies Wine Bar in Disley this on 23rd January, but Daphne is special as every Daphne ticket sold, we’ll be donating £1 to the Donkey Sanctuary in Derbyshire.

Now, if you know anything about the Cocktails n Canvas crew, you’ll know they are total animal lovers through and through. Led by the wonderful Kelly, our team is obsessed with all things furry, feathery, and fabulous.

Daphne is going to be one of our stars of this year, and with her big, soulful eyes, fluffy grey coat, and the sweetest smile you ever did see, how could you not fall head over hooves in love?

But Daphne isn’t just a pretty face – this donkey has a heart of gold too. That’s why we have decided that for every Daphne ticket sold, we’ll be donating £1 to the amazing Donkey Sanctuary in Derbyshire. These wonderful people work tirelessly to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome donkeys in need, and we’re thrilled to be able to support their incredible efforts.

So not only will you get to unleash your inner artist and create your very own Daphne masterpiece, but you’ll also be making a real difference in the lives of these beautiful creatures. It’s a win-win, if you ask me!

Now, I know what you’re thinking – when can I get in on this Daphne the Donkey action? Well, check out our events page then grab your brushes, pour yourself a glass of something fabulous, and get ready to channel your inner Van Gogh as you bring Daphne to life.

Trust me, this is one artsy adventure you won’t want to miss. 

See you there, donkey lovers!
