About this eventThis is a Santa experience with a difference. The aim, is to make meeting Santa more fun and much less like a scary interview! We know many children get scared meeting Santa so we hope that by encouraging them to take part in this little adventure, it will bring even the quieter ones out of their shells. The groups are limited to 8 children with 1 accompanying adult per child free, and will stay together as they move from cabin 1, to cabin 2, to cabin 3.(Additional adults can attend at £5 to watch and go into the cabins with the children but they won't have the milk / cookies etc. )
While you wait for everyone to arrive (15 mins before start time) you can see a few of our animals in the stables - bunnies, guinea pigs, baby goats, ponies, and wallabies.
Time to begin!
First, spend around 10-15 mins with Mrs Claus in Cabin 1, enjoying warm milk (or juice) and freshly baked cookies while she tells you some tales about what the Naughty Elf has got up to this year. We will have the log fire on in the middle of the cabin and it will be lovely, warm and toasty!
Mrs Claus tells of Twinkle, our naughty Elf, who let ALL of the Reindeer out last night and they have disappeared!!! So now there are only Alpaca's left to pull Santas sleigh. Only magic, and Christmas Spirit and a little special alpaca food will help them be strong enough to fly at Christmas. Mrs Claus will have a little talk with the children and engage them.
There is a knock on the door, and it is the Naughty Elf who needs your help!!! Go with Twinkle on an adventure to help him get back on the Good List.
Oh no!! Santa has overslept AGAIN in Cabin 2!! We all need to wake him up and load up the presents onto the sleigh, or it won't be ready in time for Christmas!!!
Santa still isn't sure about letting Twinkle back on the Good List, so Twinkle convinces Santa that the Alpacas can pull the sleigh if they have enough Christmas Spirit and Mrs Claus's special Alpaca food. Santa agrees, but only if the Children help him with feeding the Alpacas.
One more job - before the children go, they MUST lead the Alpacas back into their stable and SHUT THE GATE!
When the jobs are done, spend 15 mins taking pictures with Santa and having informal chats with him about what they want for Christmas etc.
Each child will be given a gift bag at the end with some special things in to remember their adventure with Santa, Mrs Claus, Twinkle, and the Alpacas!

Training courses on handling Alpacas
alpacasWe have around 30 Alpacas on site keeping an eye on our staff while they work. We have trained approximately 8 of them to a high enough standard to be walked, fed and groomed by both Adults with disabilities and young Children. |
Pygmy goats We are so happy to announce the birth of our first baby Pygmy goat, 'Miracle' The mum really struggled in a long labour, where the baby was hanging out for over 12 hours, out of the sac. The vets pulled out a limp and lifeless baby and laid her down to work on the mother. 5 hours later, the Baby started moving, and 'Miracle' came to life! The vets had never seen anything like this! Both mum and baby doing exceptionally well! |
Miniature PoniesTake a walk with Paris and Blue, our cheeky ponies who love to be groomed! They also love to let their hair down and run up and down the field with Roxy and Ben, our German Shephard dogs! |
RHEA TODAY.....GONE TOMORROW?
OUR GOALThere are approximately 1000 Rhea in the UK A very small percentage of these are white Our conservation programme means there are now over 50 more Rhea roaming our land living in the highest quality conditions. To partner with us please get in touch via contact form |
First Let'sNurture
We have developed a private breeding programme to enhance our woodland of over 4000 newly planted trees, river and fishery.
They have now been released on our land and are free to roam a protected and safe area |
Now let's WORKConserve
We provide the Rhea with the best locally sourced produce; a combination of Fruits, Seeds and Roots, and they are able to forage to naturally find insects, grasshoppers, small reptiles and rodents.
