Once Upon A Reindeer Trail

Step into a festive fairytale adventure where reindeer, transformed by their Fairy Reinmother, take on dazzling storybook disguises

  • Booking not needed
  • Admission applies

Step into a festive fairytale adventure where reindeers glow with festive magic. Each one made a wish to their Fairy Reinmother and has been transformed into a dazzling character from the stories we all love. Follow the trail and uncover their fairytale disguises.

These enchanting reindeers have been lovingly handcrafted by the Somerset Bodgers, our resident green woodworkers who keep this historic craft alive. With skill, care, and a big dollop of imagination, they bring each reindeer to life.

The Bodgers also share their knowledge through courses and workshops, passing on the timeless magic of traditional woodworking.
