donkey stand


Explanation:
Or something similar. If it refers to a street market, I understand it refers to a kind of street shop where you can see donkeys and even buy them.

agree  Emma Goldsmith: I agree with "donkey ride" (maybe rides with an "s"). They're often organised at fairs.

  -> Thank you, Emma

agree  Rick Larg: Yes, surely donkey rides .
1 hr
  -> Thank you, Rick

agree  RichardDeegan: Unless I'm mistaken, there is an annual donkey parade in Seville. I know there's one in Devon (UK)
2 hrs
  -> Yes, but my suggestion was in the context of the so-called 'medieval' fairs that are widely popular in Spain. There are very few donkeys left here, so they aren't for sale at fairs. 'Donkey rides' used to be popular once upon a time on the UK beaches.

Reference: Donkey parade?

Reference information:
The only reference I can find to a donkey parade in the UK is in fact not, rather the "The Hunting of the Earl of Rone" in Combe Martin, Devon. See links below which are about e.g."Great fun involving the reinactment of an old legend. Locals get dressed up as grenadiers or drummers and musicians and parade through the streets behind a Hobby Horse in hunt of the Earl, who sits backwards on a donkey! When the Earl is found he's shot (not really!), put back on his donkey and plonked in the sea!"
