The annual Donkey Derby returns to Guernsey in its 54th year.
Donkeys have travelled from Guildford in Surrey, travelling by boat ahead of the event on Saturday.
It is free to enter, however proceeds will go to the Lions Club of Guernsey, for them to distribute it to causes within the island.
A number of charities have also been invited, with organisers hoping they will also be able to benefit from the event. The race itself will consist of donkeys running around a designated track with children for jockeys, up to a certain height and weight.
The Lions Club added the donkeys' welfare was of "paramount importance".
