We are delighted to launch our special SEN-Friendly Christmas Lights and Reindeer Experience, tailored to provide a magical and comfortable visit for children and young people with SEN and Autism in Dorset. Our aim is to create a calm, supportive, and joyful environment for all to enjoy this festive season.

When arriving at Nutley Farm, you’ll be greeted by beautiful illuminations and enchanting displays. Our latest trail ‘FOLLOW THE LOST REINDEER’ features five new themed chapters, many new light installations, enhanced magical interactions, and fabulous higher-quality projections.

Discover 20 hidden reindeer characters along our illuminated trail, and enjoy meeting Nutley Farm’s real-life magical reindeer, Rudolph, Prancer, Sprout and Parsnip.

SENSORY ADJUSTMENTS

• No music in the barn or festive area for a quieter, sensory-friendly experience
