Tips & Advice

  • Book in advance, because it's strongly recommended. You need normal admission plus a Farmer Christmas Experience ticket for each child who will get a gift.
  • Get to the farm park early in the day, because Farmer Christmas time slots are given out on arrival. You'll then have more time for the animals and play areas.
  • Arrive together as a family if you want to see Farmer Christmas as a group, because families go into the Magical Christmas Barn together.
  • Turn up at the barn at your allocated slot and not too early, because arriving ahead of your time may mean you have to queue.
  • Have your booking confirmation email and barcode ready at reception, because the elves scan it to check you in and give you a slot.

Special Events & Promotions

Frequently Asked Questions

Do adults need a Christmas experience ticket?

No. Adults just need normal farm admission or a valid Annual Pass reservation. You add a Farmer Christmas Experience ticket for each child taking part.

Does my baby need a ticket?

Under 2s only need a Christmas ticket if you'd like them to get a gift.

How does the visit to Farmer Christmas work?

Show your booking email and barcode to the reception elves. They check you in and give you the next free time slot for the Magical Christmas Barn, plus a Farmer Christmas Experience Card. At your slot you hand the card to the Head Elf. Then you walk through the barn meeting elves until you reach Farmer Christmas's living room. Afterwards children swap their card for a gift from Ye Olde Toy Shoppe.

Can Annual Pass holders use their pass?

Yes, for the daytime visit. Reserve your usual admission and add a Farmer Christmas Experience ticket for each child. The evening Twilight event is ticketed separately, and passholders need to buy tickets for it.

What if the weather is bad?

The event still runs because there are plenty of undercover areas. The Christmas Barn, the Animal Barn and the play barns are all indoors.
