Who runs this site

This website is published by The Blazing Donkey, Ham, near Sandwich, Kent. Registered company details will be listed here before the site is publicised.

What we are, and what we are not

The Blazing Donkey is a venue for residential workshops, and for some of those workshops it is also a co-host. Workshops held here are led by qualified practitioners — sometimes independent facilitators bringing their own programme, sometimes people working with us, sometimes both together. Independent facilitators remain responsible for their own programmes, their own participants, and their own professional registration and insurance.

A workshop is group work. It is not individual therapy, medical treatment or a crisis service, and it is not a substitute for any of them. Booking a workshop is not a route into clinical treatment, and nothing on this site is an offer of clinical care. Where clinically trained people are involved in running a workshop, they are acting as facilitators of that workshop.

PROMIS Hay Farm is a neighbouring clinic and a separate organisation, with its own clinicians, governance and regulatory obligations. It does not operate The Blazing Donkey, and a booking here is a booking with us.

If you are in difficulty now, please contact your GP or an urgent care or crisis service rather than waiting for a workshop date.

Enquiries and your data

The enquiry form on this site does not send anything to a server. It assembles what you type into a draft email in your own mail application, which you then choose to send. Nothing is stored by this website, and nothing is transmitted unless you press send yourself.

Once you do email us, we hold what you sent for as long as it takes to answer you and to run any booking that follows. We do not sell it, and we do not add you to a mailing list you did not ask for. Write to hello@theblazingdonkey.com to ask what we hold or to have it deleted.

Cookies and tracking

This site sets no cookies and runs no analytics or advertising scripts. If that changes, this page changes with it and you will be asked first where the law requires it.

Photographs

All photography on this site is of these buildings and grounds. Images are the property of The Blazing Donkey and its predecessors and should not be reproduced without permission.

Accuracy

We have tried to describe the place as it is rather than as it photographs. Facilities, room arrangements and what we can cater for vary by date — anything that matters to your booking should be confirmed with us in writing rather than taken from this page.

Accessibility

These are old, mostly single-storey buildings with level thresholds in some places and steps in others. If access matters to your group, please ask us directly and we will describe the specific route rather than make a general claim. If you have trouble using this website, tell us and we will fix it.
