Our jewellery cabinets are enriched with work by Sarah Vourda Enamels\, Lucy Jade Sylvester and Julian Warrender both working in silver and fabulous sparkling recycled plastic giant bug brooches by Hannah Coates. Finally\, flying geese and other birds by Scottish mobile artist Jay Rubenstein complete our thoroughly Modern Menagerie. \n*We also have a fantastic selection of cards and small gifts based on our current exhibition theme.

SUMMARY:Real Reindeer
DESCRIPTION:For this one weekend\, on Saturday and Sunday from 11.30am until 2.30pm you and your family will have the opportunity to see real reindeer here at Waterperry Gardens. \nYou will be able to get very close and take photos of these beautiful creatures (from the safety of our fencing). \nKnowledgeable handlers will be there to give you and the children insightful facts and information about these magical animals\, getting you in the mood for the Christmas period. \nPlease be aware these are live animals and are unpredictable. It is unlikely you will be able to touch or feed them. Do dress appropriately for the English weather and at busy times expect to queue. \nReindeer2Hire is a family run business based in ‘Oxfordshire’ and born out of a passion for sharing these beautiful animals with the public to enthral and to educate. Every one of our reindeer is truly loved and cared for to the highest standard. The reindeer live with us for their entire lives on our countryside farm near Oxford. \nWaterperry Gardens has the highest regard for all creatures and we would not be hosting this event if we had any doubts about the way these reindeer are treated and the quality of their lives. \nAdults will have to pay low season garden entry to see the reindeer and children do have to be accompanied by an adult.
