A: Our team is comprised of 2 reindeer and 2 dedicated, friendly and knowledgeable reindeer handlers.
Q: Do I have to hire 2 reindeer, can I just hire 1?

A: Yes! We wouldn't do it if they didn't. As naturally curious and inquisitive creatures, our reindeer love going on display, meeting new people and taking in new sights, sounds and smells.
Q: What space do we need to hire reindeer for our event?
A: Our pen set up is approximately 4m x 6m, further space for the public to safely approach and pass is needed. We also need space for our truck and trailer to be parked within short distance of the display site.

A: No. We can be based on grass as long as it has not been treated with anything, although the reindeer can make it muddy if wet. Concrete is equally fine and advised if the weather is wet.

A: As song as it is safe to travel, we will attend as planned. We have a strong gazebo for weather protection for the reindeer so they can be displayed regardless.
