A Truly Magical Christmas at The Rare Breeds Centre

Santa’s Grotto will open on Saturday, November 22nd and will be welcoming visitors every weekend until Christmas. It will also be open on Monday, December 22nd through to Wednesday, December 24th, for those last magical visits before the big day.

A farm full of festive cheer
Santa’s elves arrive early to sprinkle their magic around the farm, filling every corner with twinkling lights and festive cheer, transforming the whole farm into a winter wonderland, full of seasonal sparkle and enchantment.

Our cattle barn becomes a glittering Santa’s Grotto, where families can enjoy daily shows featuring Father Christmas himself, along with his cheerful band of elves.

Our Children’s Barn will be beautifully decorated too, with glowing lights and a stunning Christmas tree.

Seasonal activities for all ages
Families can enjoy a full day of seasonal fun, including craft activities, a reindeer trail, and lots of festive entertainment for all ages, set within the enchanting atmosphere of our Christmas-themed farm.

A professional photographer will be available to capture that special moment when your little ones meet Father Christmas. However, you are also very welcome to take your own photos during your visit.

SEN grotto sessions available too
We are also offering several SEN-friendly grotto sessions, designed to provide a more relaxed experience.

These sessions have fewer visitors and a quieter atmosphere, making them ideal for those who may benefit from a calmer environment.
