VISIT OUR REINDEER
Visitors can pay at the gate to visit our reindeer, however we recommend booking online to secure your time slot and avoid queuing.
Access to our magical Santa’s trail, and Selfie Sleigh is freely available on both tickets.
If you run out of the reindeer moss treat that we have given you with your booking, you can purchase additional moss at any time from our reception area.
You can also check out our growing range of Unique Christmas gifts, including lots of locally made items that you simply will not find anywhere else! Also view our handcrafted reindeer antler jewellery and walking sticks made from our very own reindeer antlers.
Children under 1 year old visit free.
Christmas Trees
At our Cotswold Reindeer Herd site in Ampney Crucis we have a range of fresh cut trees, for customers who have pre-ordered. To order a tree please send an email and a confirmation email will be sent. We can deliver trees by arrangement, and we can collect them after Christmas for recycling as well.
