This Christmas come and visit The Reindeer Centre’s Christmas Grotto, Festive fun for everyone!

Most visits are 2/3 hours, on weekends allow more time for queuing to meet Father Christmas!

Open 10am till 4pm Monday to Friday and 10am – 5pm on Saturdays and Sundays. (see Facebook for any additional extra Christmas opening times)

Last admission is at 12 noon, Father Christmas and his Reindeer have a very busy night ahead of them!

No. We do not operate a booking system as our individual Father Christmas visits are special to each family, therefore we don’t wish to impose timed slots, and tickets are only available to be purchased on the day of your visit.

Yes you can, but the entry fee is the same, we have many guests who visit without children and love to see the animals and all the Christmas cheer. For any older children visiting that don’t wish to meet the big guy in the red suit, just purchase an adult ticket and they won’t have to feel shy! Most older children when given the option of gift or no gift do fold and relent their decision and go along with it all!

No, entry is free , but if you wish them to receive a gift from Father Christmas you will need to purchase a standard child’s ticket, the gifts are age appropriate for babies and are a quality item.

Plenty, particularly if you like animals and having fun at Christmas there is lots to do! View some of the pet reindeers, then meet Father Christmas in his cosy cabin, where children will receive a quality wrapped gift. Then walk through our large magical animated grotto with seven individual Christmas scenes. Then you have the option to purchase your souvenir photo/snowglobe/magnet/keyring taken with Father Christmas. There is a large food hall where you can purchase hot and cold drinks, burgers, hotdogs sandwiches etc.
Then on to the main indoor Animal barn where the Farm’s Reindeer herd live ,and a chance to pet/feed them. There is Reptile corner and lots of farm animals to meet including goats, ducklings, donkeys, rabbits and exotic pets to. There is the ever popular straw bale ball pit and the (fake) snow play area, bouncy castle and lots more to see and do, with Elf entertainers on hand to help with the Christmas joy.

We have a professionally installed remote photo system in Father Christmas room; the photos are available to be viewed on screen before you purchase them. Prices start from £6.50

The rest of the farm is level concrete walkways and all of the grotto and barn are accessible to wheelchairs, mobility scooters and double buggies. Sorry but we do not have any available for hire at present.
