We’re ready for Christmas, Down at the Farm
In its heyday – Tatton Park’s historic, working rare breeds’ 40 acre Farm fed the entire Tatton family and estate staff. Nowadays, it is a fascinating ‘Field to Fork’ interactive story, taking you back across the centuries, includes demonstrations and costumed characters. Today The Farm remains a working rare breed’s farm. But during the festive season it is a perfect place for families to meet Father Christmas, see the animal nativity in the stable, and try some mulled wine.
Meet Father Christmas
Meet Father Christmas and his helpful elves in a cosy grotto at Tatton Park’s Farm, a holiday tradition for lots of families. Entertainers, storytelling and face painting will keep little ones busy or they can run-off their excitement in our woodland play area and build a winter den.
Want to feel Christmassy?
If you’re after a full-on festive feeling, head to our animal nativity in the stable, where our rare breed farm animals are joined by our resident reindeer, Dancer and Prancer. Sing carols accompanied by brass bands and choirs, with a mulled wine in one hand and mince pie in the other.
Make magical reindeer food in the Mill
Back by popular demand…sprinkle some magic in our renovated Mill and make your own bag of reindeer treats to take home. Years ago the Mill was used to produce feed for the Farm animals…this year you can weigh out festive feed ready for your special Christmas Eve visitors!
Our rare breed regulars
The Farm is home to many Rare Breed animals not just at Christmas, but all year round. Come and meet our Clydesdale horses, Tamworth pigs and Leicester Longwool sheep. An animal adoption pack from the Farm can make a unique Christmas gift.
