The Christmas Reindeer Trail at Dyffryn Gardens

On Sunday 6 December – Sunday 4 January enjoy festive family fun at the Dyffryn Gardens Reindeer Trail.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Father Christmas has lost his reindeers and needs you to help him find them, they’re hiding in the gardens and when you discover them, they’ll have games for you to play. After finding all the specially made wooden reindeers, you can do some Christmassy colouring in the cosily decorated second-hand bookshop and then have a seasonal treat at the Gardens Café. There’s no booking and entry is free to National Trust members.
