🍂🔥 This autumn weather is getting us excited for cosy evenings around the fire…🔥🍂
There’s nothing quite like toasting marshmallows over an open fire to add a little extra warmth and Christmas magic to your evening at Nutley Farm.
Our Marshmallow Toasting Area will be returning to the Christmas Courtyard this year, where marshmallows and s’mores will be available to purchase on the night from our Sweet Shop, ready to toast 🔥🍫
The perfect treat to enjoy whilst soaking up the festive atmosphere after exploring the lights and meeting our reindeer.
A big thank you to Kerry Tancock for sharing this lovely photo from her visit with us.
Who else loves a toasted marshmallow at Christmas? 🎄🔥
🎄✨ “This is amazing! This is the best night ever!” ✨🎄 We absolutely LOVE receiving feedback like this! ❤️
Hannah Fuller shared this lovely message and image with us after visiting Nutley Farm Christmas with her daughter:
“My daughter was absolutely amazed by all the lights, we had to do the trail twice! In her words, ‘This is amazing! This is the best night ever!’”
And yes… you’re more than welcome to walk the trail more than once during your visit ✨
Creating those magical Christmas memories is exactly why we do what we do, and hearing how much our younger visitors enjoy the experience makes all the hard work behind the scenes worthwhile.
