THIS YEAR'S CHRISTMAS FARM VISIT IS LED BY THE BARN ELVES (FJØSNISSENE) AT ØVRE-EIDE GÅRD!
Christmas is the children's holiday, and now there is a proper Christmas atmosphere on our farm. The horses have put on sleigh bells, the gentle sheep are waiting in the field, the hens are strutting around the farmyard, and the rabbits are enjoying a warm lap. The barn is decorated with a lovely Christmas tree, and we have hung up spruce branches and thousands of Christmas lights! All experiences, food and drinks (as much food and drink as you like!) are included in the ticket price!
With us the Christmas farm visits consist of a fixed programme led by us at the farm from start to finish. A living "performance" that we experience together. It is therefore very important that everyone arrives on time when the event starts - preferably 10 minutes early. (Remember that it also takes a little time to walk down from the car park.)
PLEASE NOTE: Unfortunately there will NOT be horse riding this year. But everyone who wants to can pat and sit on one of our gentle Fjord horses or Dølahest horses in the stable aisle.
We feed and pat sheep and say hello to rabbits, the rooster and hens. Along the way we will teach you lots of fun things about our animals, and we will also sing a little to them together. Remember to dress for the weather! Boots/waterproof winter shoes are always recommended, as we usually go out into the field, which can be both wet and muddy.
Afterwards we invite everyone into our warm, cosy barn, where we serve mulled wine, rice porridge, gingerbread, clementines, saft (juice), coffee and tea. There will of course be a prize for whoever finds the almond in the porridge. We finish with singing around the Christmas tree and a visit from Father or Mother Christmas (nissefar or nissemor) - who brings a lovely gift for each of the children.
Welcome to a magical pre-Christmas experience ❤
