New Forest Wildlife Park is set to offer a host of winter activities to engage visitors this December.

From December 7 to 23, the park will be hosting Winter Deer Feeding Encounters, where visitors can hand-feed deer in their natural woodland surroundings.

The sessions, priced at £15 per person in addition to admission, will be held in the morning and afternoon, and must be pre-booked due to limited availability.

These intimate encounters are suitable for individuals and families with children aged five and above.

Throughout the month, a giant golden bauble will be hidden within the park daily.

Visitors who spot the bauble will have a chance to win a free return visit.

Beyond these festive offerings, the park provides a full day of activities for families, including exploring animal habitats, learning about conservation projects, and enjoying the adventure playgrounds.

The New Forest Wildlife Park is open every day from 10am to 5pm, except on Christmas Day and Boxing Day.

Last admission is at 3.30pm.
