The 'magical' Essex farm with Santa's sleigh train and baby animals

A "magical" morning will be held at an animal farm in Essex which will see Santa Claus riding his sleigh train through the farm. Daisy May's Farm in Elsenham, Essex, near Bishop's Stortford will be holding a Christmas themed event on Saturday this week (November 30).

Daisy May's Farm is a working and community farm based in the village of Elsenham, near Stansted Airport. Founded in 2011 and run solely by volunteers as a not for profit organisation. They actively raise funds by opening the gates each week to enable visitors to come and enjoy the animals. The farm has their own breeding programmes throughout the year.

On Saturday, they will be holding a morning of "magical fun" from 10am to midday. Santa will be driving his Sleigh Train to fly people off to his grotto to pick up his forgotten sack of presents.

A spokesman for the farm said: "There is a gift for every child from Santa himself and the elves will entertain you as you experience story time around our campfire and enjoy a kiddies hot chocolate and a cookie. There are animals galore and we are also hoping for some Christmas babies to be born for you all to see.

"Enjoy themed arts and crafts, a Candy Cane Hunt in our Woodland Wonderland and lots more. The train is not included in your ticket price and costs £2 per person. Children must be supervised by an adult. Everyone will get to see Santa, regardless of if you decide to ride on the train."
