The park will be open all day as normal, but when daylight fades the entire Enchanted Walk will become a magical wonderland of fairy lights, which will delight children and adults. The Mermaid Garden, Fairy Dell, Dino Valley, Jack’s Yard and the entire Enchanted Walk will be a blaze of colour and light, with several new features for 2022, including an illuminated T-Rex!
See the Giant’s Camera, The Extinct Band, Giant Party Poppers, and Light Fountains illuminated, walk through the Tunnel of Light and watch the Dancing Water Fountains with an accompanying light show. Snow White’s Castle and the Seven Dwarfs’ house will also be illuminated and will look spectacular, and you can see Jack’s Beanstalk rising into the night sky.
This year the Fairytale Farm lights will be more energy efficient and eco-friendly than previous years as we have replaced large sections of the display with LED bulbs, which are the most efficient way of generating light available. They are also brighter and more colourful, so they are excited for you to see them.
The farm will stay open until one hour after dusk every weekend, and daytime visitors can stay on and see the illuminations for free. They also operate a reduced admissions price from 3pm, which you can buy at admissions on arrival. The Beanstalk Cafe will be open throughout with a choice of hot and cold snacks.
The animal areas will close at dusk as the lights come on, so be sure to arrive in good time so you don’t miss all that Fairytale Farm has to offer in the daylight. And, don’t forget, their annual pass holders can visit for free, as many times as they like.
Illuminations and Supper Deal
They also offer an all-in farm admission and food deal. The ‘Illuminations and Supper’ Deal is available every weekend from 3pm for £9.75 per adult and £8.75 per child. This price gives evening entry to the Farm (with a chance to see the animals if you arrive promptly), a choice of hot food and a drink in their Beanstalk Cafe, and then finish the evening with a stroll through the illuminated gardens after the lights switch on. A truly magical evening for the whole family.
This year they have upgraded their menu too, with a better quality of food to choose from:
- Jumbo hot dog with a proper sausage served in a whole baguette (half for children under 16), and a choice of with or without onions;
- Home-made soup with crusty roll and butter; or
- Jacket potato with baked beans (vegan and gluten free), a real winter warmer.
Note that the animal area closes at dusk so please arrive as soon after 3pm as you can if you want to see these parts of the park before the illuminations switch on.
