Join us on the farm for a pre-Christmas treat! 

From Monday 11th to Sunday 17th November, join us on the farm to meet our reindeer, learn all about their lives here on the farm and feed them a tasty treat. Reindeer food will be available to buy from the main entrance, priced at £2 per bag. 

Visitors on Saturday 16th November 2024 will also be able to enjoy our 'World Falconry Day' celebrations. Join us at midday and again at 1.30pm to meet our birds of prey, learn about the brief history of falconry, discover what it's like to fit a 'jess' and try your hand at lure swinging with bottles.

  • Meet our smaller animals in the Animal Chat Room. 

  • Say hello to our bigger animals out in the paddocks.
