All walks must be pre-booked and are available every day of the week and all year round (subject to availability but excluding Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Years’ Day).
Persons must be over 16 years old to walk an Reindeer on their own, children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. Children aged 5 to 12 may accompany the walk providing that each child is accompanied by an adult. PLEASE NOTE this is to comply with our insurance and can’t be varied.
It is important at the time of booking that we know if any of those walking have any health limitations or health issues that we should be aware of. Where possible, we are very happy to modify the walk or distance in a way that accommodates any health concerns. Walking Reindeer may not be suitable for all as it involves walking across uneven surfaces and terrain and you need to use both hands to be in control of the Reindeer at all times.
Walking an Reindeer allows you to walk YOUR VERY OWN Reindeer for the entirety of the walk.
Accompanying a walker entitles you to walk alongside an Reindeer walker but not to walk an Reindeer yourself.
Reindeer are herd animals so all 3 Reindeer must be booked for each walk.
It is possible to accommodate single walkers but only in conjunction with another group so as to always have 3 Reindeer walking.
Walking times are 11am – 12noon and 2pm to 3pm0 Monday to Friday. Weekend times are 10am -11am and 12.30 – 1.30.
We need at least 48 hours notice if you cancel a walk as it is unlikely we can fill the places on that walk. If we have less than 48 hours or a “no show”, unfortunately your booking is forfeit.
We are not an “open farm” and can only offer Reindeer walks by prior arrangement.
We are a working farm, so please dress for the weather and wear suitable footwear.
Clothing should be appropriate for the conditions but please avoid really bright colours or anything that might flap (we will ask you to tuck it in if it does).
Our Reindeer are not used to dogs so we have a strict no dog policy on the farm or walk.
Reindeer are like us and won’t be happy to walk in bad weather. If the weather forecast looks bad, we will endeavour to let you know the evening before (via email/text or call – or feel free to contact us) that there is a risk of cancellation. We will make a final decision on the morning of the day in question and again contact you via email/text or call. If we do cancel a walk, we will issue you with an eVoucher and arrange to reschedule.
We can cater for educational visits, hen parties or special events – please contact us for details.
Vouchers (and eVouchers) are available (and gift cards) – please contact us for details.
