About

Oh no! Santa’s 12 reindeer have gone missing somewhere around Herstmonceux Castle Estate, and he needs your help to find them all before Christmas Eve!

Gather your family, wrap up warm, and join Herstmonceux Castle for a festive outdoor adventure as you follow clues around the estate to track down Santa’s missing helpers.

Collect your Christmas trail map from Castle Reception, explore the grounds, and see if you can find all 12 reindeer. Once you’ve completed your mission, return to Reception to collect a special reward from Santa as a thank you for helping him get ready for Christmas.

It’s a fun way to explore the estate together, enjoy some fresh winter air, and add a little Christmas magic to your family visit.

£3.50 per family, including one trail sheet.
