A Truly Magical Christmas

2nd to 23rd Dec

Join us for the most fun and festive days on the farm for our sparkly, magical Santa's Grotto, with extra fun activities and entertainment.

Our family-favourite Christmas event is back for another magical year.

Visit Santa and his cheeky elves in their magical grotto this Christmas for a 15-20-minute interactive performance. All paying children receive a present from Santa, along with the opportunity to have their photo taken with him by our professional photographers.

Enjoy festive activities around the farm, including a Christmas Word Trail, Christmas decoration making, and gingerbread decorating. Our catering outlets will be serving a range of seasonal treats to get you in the Christmas spirit including mulled wine and mince pies!

Each ticket includes full-day access to the farm, our indoor soft play area, adventure playgrounds and meet the animals. Come for the day and enjoy all the farm has to offer, or arrive 30 minutes before your ticket time for Santa's Grotto.

What people say about Christmas at the Rare Breeds Centre

"Lovely people. Great place. Amazing Santa experience."

"Santa experience was out of this world. Both my boys absolutely loved it, Sprout, Mistletoe and Snowy were amazing, as was the big man in red... A fantastic day, magical experience and top notch helpful staff. We had a wonderful day, the animals, tractor ride, play grounds all such fun! Thank you! Can’t wait to go back!"

"...the energy and detail everyone put into the Christmas experience for the general public was epic. I fail to see how it could have been improved and the children were just whisked away into a magical and enchanted world."

"Such a great day out and fantastic value for money for a Christmas day out, brilliant. Lovely animals all looking happy and healthy. Tractor trailer ride... and one of the best Santa meet and greets I've ever seen. What an amazing grotto and workshop. We had a lot of fun."
