About
A special opportunity for the whole family to tour the Deer Park and see some of the Red Deer and their calves, up close in their natural habitat.
We’re thrilled to be able to jump back on those tractors and trailers to take you for an awe-inspiring visit to see our beautiful herd of Red Deer and their newborns - definitely one not to be missed!
Our Deer Safari is a fantastic event for all the family - our Farm team will pick you up with their tractors and custom-made trailers to take you through the Grounds and over to the Deer Park where you will get up close to our majestic doe’s and be the first to meet their beautiful, new calves. You can ask us any questions and chat to the farmers who care for the herd throughout the year.
This year we have some Evening Deer Safari trips running too, at 5.30pm, 6.30pm and 7.30pm, on Friday 12th and Friday 19th June.
This is a popular event - tickets can be purchased online in advance, or bought in person or on the phone at the Ticket Office. Wristbands will need to be collected at the Ticket Office on arrival by all visitors.
Tractors and Trailers will be running continuously throughout the day from 10am until 4pm. There are no time slots.
Please note that although we are a dog-friendly site, dogs are not permitted to go on the Deer Safari.
On Sunday 14th June, we also have our Wedding Fayre taking place in the Sykes Barn, from 10.30pm - 4pm.
