Christmas magic that makes a difference… 🎄✨❤️ Today, on , we wanted to share something that has always been incredibly important to us here at Nutley Farm Christmas.

Since our Christmas event began, with the amazing support of everyone who has visited us, we have raised over £60,000 for Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance 🚁❤️

What started as a Christmas light trail here on our family farm has grown into something much bigger than we ever imagined – welcoming thousands of visitors each year while helping to raise vital funds for a charity that provides a lifesaving service across our local communities.

Every ticket booked, every visit and every bit of support helps us to continue making a difference.

So, on International Day of Charity, we'd simply like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has supported Nutley Farm Christmas over the years 🎄✨🚁

Here's to raising even more in 2026 ❤️

Our Christmas Courtyard is back for 2026 🎄✨ Last year, our new Christmas Courtyard was a huge hit, and we’re delighted to say it will be returning this year with live music being played on select dates in our new festive marquee.

After making your way around our magical Christmas Light Trail and visiting our reindeer, head into the Christmas Courtyard, where you can soak up the festive atmosphere, warm up with something delicious and spend a little more time enjoying the Christmas magic together.

🎄 A little update from us at Nutley Farm Christmas...

As a small, family-run event, we genuinely care about giving every family who visits us a magical Christmas experience.

There is already an enormous amount happening behind the scenes for Christmas 2026, with new ideas, lights and additions in the works that we can't wait to share with you!

❤️ Keeping Christmas affordable for families

We know Christmas can be an expensive time of year, which is why we're really pleased to be keeping our ticket prices the same for 2026.

We want Nutley Farm Christmas to remain an affordable festive family experience and, when compared with many other Christmas light trails, we feel we offer fantastic value for money – with our Christmas Light Trail, real reindeer experience and festive Christmas Courtyard.

We're also incredibly proud to continue raising vital funds for Dorset & Somerset Air Ambulance.

There is a lot of competition for your support at Christmas, so we want to say how much we truly value your business. Thank you for choosing to spend part of your Christmas with us ❤️

🦌 A little update about our reindeer...

Our boys are loved and cared for here at Nutley Farm 365 days a year, and their health and welfare will always be incredibly important to us.

Changes to Government licensing requirements mean that reindeer are classified as Category 1 wild animals, requiring us to obtain a Zoo Licence in order for them to be displayed to the public.

It's been a lengthy and complex process behind the scenes, but one we have worked incredibly hard to complete so that our boys can continue to be part of the Nutley Farm Christmas experience, with their welfare at the heart of everything we do 🦌❤️

And finally, if you need to change your visit date or have a query about your tickets, our ticketing partners at Ticketebo are available to help.

Thank you again for your incredible support. We're so excited for what's ahead and can't wait to welcome you and your families back to Nutley Farm this Christmas 🎄✨🦌

🎄✨🦌🎅 SEND Christmas Experience at Nutley Farm 🎄✨🦌🎅 Christmas magic, at a quieter and more relaxed pace.

On Wednesday 2nd December, we're holding a dedicated SEND-friendly evening at Nutley Farm Christmas, designed for children and young people with sensory needs and their families.

We understand that the sights, sounds and busy atmosphere of Christmas events can sometimes feel overwhelming, so we'll be making some special adjustments to help families enjoy the experience at their own pace:

✨ No music in our barn or Christmas Courtyard
✨ Reduced music and sound along the Christmas Light Trail
✨ Wider entry slots for a more relaxed, unhurried experience
✨ Additional staff on-site to support families
✨ Wheelchair and buggy accessible

We can also provide sensory stories and preparation videos ahead of your visit, helping children and young people become familiar with what they'll see and experience before arriving.

You'll still enjoy all the magic of Nutley Farm Christmas, including our enchanting Christmas Light Trail, beautiful reindeer and festive Christmas Courtyard – simply with a calmer atmosphere and fewer visitors 🦌✨

To help us maintain a quieter environment, spaces for this evening are limited, so we recommend booking early.

🎟️ Book at www.nutleychristmas.co.uk

Please feel free to share this post with any families who may benefit from our SEND-friendly evening 💙

🎄 Meet the man behind the magic... Say hi to Julian 👋✨

If you've visited Nutley Farm Christmas before, there's a good chance you'll have spotted Julian somewhere along the way – usually busy behind the scenes, checking the lights, helping visitors or already thinking about what he can add next!

With decades of experience in event management, Julian has worked on some incredible events over the years, including the legendary Great Dorset Steam Fair. He's also a passionate supporter of local festivals, community events and charities, including Teddy Rocks.

But back in 2020, things looked very different...

During the height of the pandemic, Julian had an idea to create a safe, outdoor Christmas experience that families could enjoy together – and the very first Nutley Farm Christmas was born 🎄🦌

What started as a festive idea here on the farm has grown year after year, thanks in no small part to the incredible support of everyone who visits us.

Fast forward to 2026, and Julian and the team are once again busy behind the scenes planning, building and creating new additions ready for another Christmas at Nutley Farm ✨

There's always another light to add, another idea to try and another way to make the experience even more magical!

We can't wait to show you what Julian and the team have been working on for Christmas 2026 🎅🎄🦌

And if you see him during your visit this December, be sure to say hi! 👋
