For this one weekend, on Saturday and Sunday from 11.30am until 2.30pm you and your family will have the opportunity to see real reindeer here at Waterperry Gardens.

You will be able to get very close and take photos of these beautiful creatures (from the safety of our fencing).

Knowledgeable handlers will be there to give you and the children insightful facts and information about these magical animals, getting you in the mood for the Christmas period.

Please be aware these are live animals and are unpredictable. It is unlikely you will be able to touch or feed them. The Reindeer will be situated in a barn, with a short walk from the Gift Barn. Do dress appropriately for the English weather and at busy times expect to queue.

Reindeer2Hire is a family run business based in ‘Oxfordshire’ and born out of a passion for sharing these beautiful animals with the public to enthral and to educate. Every one of our reindeer is truly loved and cared for to the highest standard. The reindeer live with us for their entire lives on our countryside farm near Oxford.

Waterperry Gardens has the highest regard for all creatures and we would not be hosting this event if we had any doubts about the way these reindeer are treated and the quality of their lives.

Adults will have to pay low season garden entry to see the reindeer and children do have to be accompanied by an adult.
