Reindeer Feeding Month 2025

A daily dose of festive magic, all month long.
As the crisp air settles and the countdown to Christmas begins, Manor Farm Park & Woodlands invites you to experience the gentle wonder of Reindeer Feeding Month – a heartwarming celebration running every day throughout November.
This enchanting experience offers guests of all ages the chance to meet our real-life reindeer, hand-feed them their favourite treats, and learn all about these iconic winter animals. Whether you're visiting midweek for a peaceful stroll or joining us at the weekend for a family day out, Reindeer Feeding Month adds a sprinkle of seasonal joy to every visit.
-
Daily Reindeer Encounters: Our reindeer are friendly, curious and love meeting new faces. For just £2.50 per portion, guests can purchase special reindeer food and enjoy the unforgettable experience of hand-feeding these gentle creatures. Feeding sessions run from 10:30am to 4:30pm daily.
-
Winter Warmers: After your reindeer visit, cosy up with a hot chocolate, mulled apple juice, or festive treat from Antlers Bistro or The Laughing Donkey Café. Our seasonal menu is designed to warm hearts and bellies alike.
-
Farm Fun All Day: Reindeer Feeding Month is part of your standard farm visit, so you’ll still enjoy everything Manor Farm has to offer from animal encounters and woodland walks to indoor play and amazing falconry displays.
You'll find us in East Leake, LE12 6LU, which is easily accessible for a fun family day out with the kids from Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire and Derbyshire.
