OUR REINDEER STORY

Our Reindeer herd, Fondly known as ‘J&C’s Popsy’s Reindeer’ are named after James’ Dad who loved all animals. Now its very own company Popsys Reindeer Limited.
He was a huge fan of Christmas and loved Reindeers.
Sadly in 2015 James’ Dad passed away without ever getting to meet these magical creatures and as a tribute to him and because he was James’ Popsy – J&C’s Popsy’s Reindeers was born. Having grown it now stands as its very own company Popsys Reindeer Limited.

We had a fantastic experience when J&C party pets visited our nursery and reception classes. Jade and Danny were extremely knowledgeable and really engaging. I would highly recommend them. Thank you for such a wonderful day!

The staff are ALL so, so welcoming and knowledgable about the animals. Friendly and helpful and always happy to be asked questions. The animal enclosures are all really well maintained and it’s obvious that the staff honestly do care about their wellbeing. The fact that the animals are rescues makes what they do that little bit more special.
