Here is what the award-winning Colready Highlands Farm has planned for its highland cows for the rest of 2026, and you do not want to miss out on the festivities in store.

The farm has proudly been in the Deeley family for more than 100 years and it was during the pandemic when Joanna and son Thomas Dyer took over.

Colready Highlands Farm is home to 75 highland cows and counting, with new babies due to arrive any day, and they live their entire lives with the family as they do not produce meat or milk as part of their operations. Welfare always comes first.

The family-run business first opened its doors to the public in July 2023, originally as a six-week holiday highland cow experience, and it has since gone from strength to strength – with its latest success being named the best day out in the county at the Northants Life Awards.

The afternoon tea combination is the most popular experience at Colready Highlands Farm, which includes a 90-minute highland cow experience, education on the breed, hand-feeding of apples, discovering each cow’s unique personality, and plenty of photo opportunities.

Guests then hop aboard the custom-made trailer, featuring 28 seats and a wheelchair bay, and head into the fields to enjoy a delicious hour-long afternoon tea surrounded by the highland cows in an experience like no other.

Looking ahead to the festive season, there is lots of newness coming in addition to the standard 90-minute highland cow experience.

The first is a Santa Afternoon Tea Combo, which will be available for families on two days and there will be one separate adults-only day. This includes a 90-minute highland cow experience and an hour-long afternoon tea with Santa and his elf.

The much-loved attraction's latest success being named the best day out in the county at the Northants Life Awards.

There will also be an adults only Cheese & Wine Experience featuring Elfonzo the Elf, which includes the 90-minute highland cow experience and an hour-long cheese and wine trailer ride.

The traditional 90-minute highland cow experience will be led by farmer Tom and his new assistant Elfonzo the Elf throughout the duration of the festive season.

Tickets for the Santa Afternoon Tea Combo and the Cheese and Wine Experience are on sale now. Tickets for the highland cow experience with Elfonzo the Elf for November will go on sale at 9am on September 26, and the December dates will go live at 9am on October 31.
