Around 500 hundred visitors met Rudolph and Blitzen, the farm reindeer who will take a starring role in Elf School and the farm’s Christmas tree experience. Rudolph’s grotto features Father Christmas’s sleigh, a desk to write to the man himself and an Elf, who of course has a direct line.

Elf School has been designed for young elves to perfect the art of Christmas biscuit decorating, to produce a tree decoration, to dress up and to chat to a grown elf and ensure their names are on the good list, before receiving a little Elf School memento.

A Christmas Trail through the deer park also runs from Saturday, December 3, to Sunday, January 7, and will encourage young visitors to explore the area as they collect clues in the hope of winning a small prize.
