Whats On
Make Friends on our Farm
Every day whatever the weather, there is lots of opportunity to make friends with the animals on our farm, and when you book online in advance you’ll save £2 per person compared with our ‘on the door price’.
Learn, laugh and love every moment!
On the way in you’ll meet our furry friends, our Rabbits live outside and LOVE the attention they get from our visitors, next door to them you’ll find our Guineapigs.
As you cross the bridge, you’ll see to our Giant Sand Play area.
A visit to our farm would not be complete without a stop off to visit the mob at Meerkat Manor. Peer over the fence or through the glass, and watch as these curious creatures scratch and play in the sand. Watch long enough and you’re bound to see one of them climb up on to their look out and peer straight back at you.
Inside our Animal Barn you’ll find different animals at different times of the year. Winter is when the barn is most full, whilst we rest the paddocks and at the same time keep our animals warm and dry. Our Horses and Donkeys enjoy outside space and exercise every day.
During February, March and even April, our Ewe ‘Maternity Ward’ will be set up, and inside will be expectant mothers and their young lambs.
When Spring arrives and the weather is milder we start to move our animals into their paddocks on our Animal Trail. Our Alpaca especially love this time of year when the days last longer and the sun shines for longer!
Visit our Exotic Room (inside our Animal Barn) and watch as our Iggy our Iguana scales his live planted accommodation, jumping from branch to branch hunting for food. Admire the bright colours of Pascal our Panther Chameleon as he basks on a leafy branch under the warmth of his lamp, and count the Paddy Tree Frogs that live alongside Nala our Royal Python.
We have snakes, snails, lizards, skinks and spiders in our Exotic Room, inside ‘bio-active’ set ups, living in harmony with little bugs known as the ‘clean up crew’, just like they would in nature.
All year round on our Animal Trail you will find Samba and Jazz our Reindeer, and Spirit, Tallouhlah and Wednesday our Highland Cows. These animals (along with our Shetland Ponies) love being outside in all weathers, and snuggle safely up in their Field Shelters at night. Our Emu and Rhea also reside on the trail year round.

Falconry And Birds Of Prey
We have Hawks, Owls and even a Bald Eagle.
All our birds are either in our flying team, or in training to join our flying team, so they get exercised and flown every single day of the week.
Falconry Flying Demonstrations are twice a day every day. Flying Shows take place at 11.45am and 1pm and the displays are totally different e.g. in the morning you might see our Kestrel flying and we usually have an ‘Owl Show’ in the afternoon that showcases the flying skills of 2 different breeds of owls. Our flying shows will showcase the natural flying or hunting styles of a different birds (schedule is weather dependent as some birds might like it windy, others prefer more still weather)
Head over and take your seat at the benches in our Flying Arena.
In line with guidance for Zoos, all our Birds of Prey being ‘free lofted’ with the exception of our Bald Eagle Our Owls and some of our other birds will fly straight from their aviaries to take part in our flying shows. This does mean you won’t see them on our weathering lawns. For our Eagle Monty – when there is no risk of Avian Influenza you will see him sunbathing on our Weathering Lawns near our Falconry Centre.

2024 Event Calendar
Our Pumpkin Patch
This October we’re doing things slightly differently. We’ve planted our very own patch this year, and while its next door, it is totally separate from the farm. So, you’ll be able to visit this and select your own pumpkins to buy without paying Farm Park entry. Entry to the patch is free of charge, instead you will pay for any pumpkins that you pick to take home with you.
Don’t worry, if you loved visiting the farm and our Pumpkin Patch, you will still be able to do both, but this year we won’t have a ‘Pumpkin Pass’ you’ll just pay separately if you want to take a pumpkin home with you.
Wynterdown Witches & Wizards School
Visit us this October between the 19th and 27th and you’ll be able to upgrade visit to include our Witches and Wizards school. You’re enrolling as a student at Wynterdown School for Witches and Wizards.
Outside Wynterdown (at your chosen time) you will meet your guide – a prefect. They will sort you into houses and help you find your way around on your first day. Together you’ll make your own magic wand and cast magic spells. Curious Cauldrons, Potion (Slime) Making classes, and a Magical Botany class led by Professor Wildweed are all part of the curriculum at Wynterdown School for Witches and Wizards. Finally, follow your guide through Trick or Treat Street, and you’ll graduate from school by learning to zoom on your broom!
The Wynterdown Witch and Wizard Experience is truly interactive, and lasts around 1 hour, and the activities are all included. You’ll leave with a decorated magic wand, some glow in the dark slime, and a seed that you plant with Professor Wildweed. The time you choose on your booking is the time for your first class at our Witch and Wizard School.
Our Farm Park opens at 10am and your £19.95 (when pre-booked online) child ticket to our Wynterdown Witches and Wizard School includes standard Farm Park entry. Accompanying Adult tickets are £14.95 when pre-booked in advance online and also include Farm Park entry (but not the wand, slime etc…)
Our LOW BANG Fireworks Display
This hugely popular event is a sell out every year, so in 2024 we’ve booked our professional fireworks display team to come to our Farm Park with their Low Bang display on Friday 1st, Saturday 2nd and Tuesday 5th November.
Families with little ones love the early start time, access to the Farm Park and indoor play areas and family friendly display set to a Princess movie soundtrack. We also have a licensed bar, live music and fire dancers! You can book your tickets by clicking on the Purple Tab at the top of our website.
December
Father Christmas and the North Pole Experience will be back at Tattershall Farm Park from 30th November until Christmas Eve.
During December the spirit of the season comes alive with a trip to the ‘North Pole’, along with a visit to our magical woodland Christmas Grotto where you’ll meet Father Christmas and receive your magic North Pole coin!
New for 2024 *Take your magic currency to the North Pole Toy Shop, where you’ll take your pick of the Christmas presents on display.
Meet Jazz and Samba, Santa’s real Reindeer before getting a selfie in Santas Sleigh. Then head into the North Pole where the interactive festivities begin.
First off, a journey through the twinkling tunnel into the true North Pole. The magic begins when you write your letter to Santa. Maybe you’ll meet our cheeky Elf and get a s’Elfie in his giant chair in Elfville before heading into Santa’s Workshop.
With festive tunes playing, our next activity is led by a cheery helper. Together you’ll make a Christmas hand print Craft, which you can display in the Candy Cane gallery while you follow the smell of freshly baked biscuits and head off to Sugarplum Mary’s Bakery.
You’ll meet Sugarplum Mary who’ll share her secret recipe for Santa’s favourite treat (other than mince pies of course!), and let you decorate your very own biscuit to take home with you too!
The festive fun continues when you enter Santa’s Stables where Frosty the Elf will help you make your magic reindeer food ready to sprinkle outside your door on Christmas Eve
For an extra touch of festive magic, this year you can also upgrade your visit to toast marshmallows over an open fire, and dive into the fun of our “Make a Bear” workshop, where you can create your very own cuddly companion!
