Meet the Deer at Wentworth Castle Gardens

The Meet the Deer event is now fully booked.

  • Booking essential

Come and meet the Wentworth Castle deer in this magical experience for all the family, followed by a festive breakfast in the Long Barn Café.

Join our farmer Terry to learn about these wonderful creatures and how to look after them. You can also help give the deer their breakfast!

This is a unique opportunity to enjoy early morning in the parkland before everyone else arrives on site.

Afterwards, join the elves in the Long Barn Café for a warming and festive breakfast. Please let us know any dietary requirements when you book.

Admission to the gardens and parkland is included in your ticket price so why not explore our enchanted tree trail or woolly jumper walk after breakfast?
