Halloween
31 October 2025
At Halloween, the air carries a special kind of magic. All over the world lanterns glow, laughter echoes, and whispers of folklore mingle with costumes and feasts.
At Westerlands, we like to celebrate the magic of Halloween with a delicious spiced pumpkin latte at the Horsebox Café for the grown-ups while the kids enjoy an hour at our Equestrian Centre on a Trick or Treat Pony Ride and have fun with new friends creating a spooky Halloween decorations.
Don’t forget to pick your own pumpkin (or bring it with you) to decorate and display at the entrance of your farm stay, inviting children to stop by for a treat. Most importantly, nearly all our farm stays feature firepits or fireplaces, making chestnut roasting a firm favourite at this time of year!

Christmas
25 December 2025
If you’re with us on the shortest day, Winter Solstice (21 December), you can embrace ancient Nordic traditions by burning a Yule log at your property as almost all of our farm stays feature firepits or fireplaces.
At our Horsebox Café, we also celebrate the seasonal shift towards lighter days with a sweet and festive slice of Bûche de Noël, the traditional edible Yule log, a luxurious indulgence to mark the ritual. Paired with mulled wine, it’s the perfect way for grown-ups to celebrate the festive season while the children set off on a Pony Tinsel Ride (23 December) at our Equestrian Centre and gather with new friends to craft their own Christmas treasures to take home.
