Paddocks and Exhibition

The Paddocks and Exhibition are currently CLOSED for refurbishment.

We had hoped to be able to re-open in relatively ‘normal’ fashion by Christmas 2024, but it has become evident that this won’t be the case and there won’t be much in the way of normality! Whilst the building itself will be completed shortly, the groundworks in the Paddocks still need a huge amount of work – fencing, boardwalks, visitor access etc.

At the moment we are still hoping to have reindeer in the Paddocks in some way over the December weekends and the Christmas holidays, but this may be on certain days only with the Paddocks remaining closed on other days – we just don’t know yet. We are working away as hard as we can, and will update on here as soon as possible.

What is pretty certain is that even if we can get something up and running and open, it will be with a much smaller visitor capacity than normal for the Christmas season, and the Exhibition will not be in place yet. Sadly the Elves also don’t have their house back yet (they will in the future, we promise…).

If you are still hoping to visit the Paddocks this Christmas, please keep checking back on this webpage – we will update it as soon as we have more of a plan ourselves, as well as posting on our social media pages. Beware that if/when tickets are released (which will be 30 days before any dates the Paddocks will be opening for), they will sell out extremely quickly.

Hill Trips to see the herd up on the mountains are running as normal – more info here.
