Christmas Days Out in Buckinghamshire: Family Fun at Hogshaw Farm

Planning Christmas days out in Buckinghamshire that bring the whole family together? Christmas at Hogshaw Farm & Wildlife Park includes a private meeting with Father Christmas, festive activities and all-day farm entry. The event runs on weekends from 28 November 2026, then daily from 19–24 December.

For little ones counting down the sleeps, it’s something special to put on the calendar. For grown-ups, it’s a chance to gather everyone together, pull on those winter coats and enjoy the excitement with them.

And this year, Father Christmas has chosen a rather unusual place to welcome you: our big red tractor.

What’s included in Christmas at Hogshaw Farm?

You’ll meet Father Christmas privately with your family, share those all-important Christmas wishes and choose a present from the toy workshop.

There’s also gingerbread decorating, magical reindeer food to make and a miniature Christmas tree to plant and take home. Finding a spot for your little tree could become part of the fun—and give the children something to look after long after the decorations come down.

Explore everything included in Christmas at the Farm.

Make time for family Christmas days out in Buckinghamshire

Your Christmas ticket includes all-day farm access, so leave some breathing room to explore around your festive visit.

Family outings have a habit of taking their own course, especially when someone spots an animal they’d like to watch for just a little longer. Let the children help decide what to explore. Perhaps everyone can choose one thing they’d like to see, or take turns being the family’s chief adventurer.

You might discover that the smallest moments become the ones you talk about on the journey home: an animal doing something unexpected, a question that gets everyone thinking, or a grandparent joining in with the fun.

There’s no need to squeeze everything into a tightly packed schedule. Give yourselves time to enjoy being together.

What should you bring for a winter farm visit?

Warm layers and sturdy footwear are a good starting point. Gloves, spare socks and a change of clothes for younger explorers can be handy, too.

If relatives are joining you, share the booking details beforehand so everyone knows where they need to be. A little preparation leaves more room for enjoying the day.

And don’t worry about organising a picture-perfect Christmas outing. Sometimes the best family photograph is the one with a wonky hat and someone laughing halfway through.
