Rides in a horse-drawn cart around Richmond Park are returning this festive season.

They are run by Operation Centaur in partnership with the Royal Park charity.

While they are not cheap, proceeds will be spent on the parks' working Shire horses and conservation drives.

"This Christmas, experience Richmond Park like never before with a ride around in a six-person Park Brake drawn by our majestic Shire Horses," organisers said.

"Enjoy the sounds of hoofs and bells, revel in the crisp air and watch the wildlife up close while you snuggle under a blanket… and have some sloe gin and a mince pie to truly get into the festive spirit!

"The 90-minute experience begins at Holly Lodge, Richmond Park, where you'll be met with refreshments.

"You will take your place in the carriage embarking on a 60 minute ride through the park in all its winter beauty! You'll also be treated to a unique behind-the-scenes visit of the working stables."

The rides take place on various days from November 28 until Janury 3 2021.

Each cart costs £450 plus a booking fee of £35.69. At the time of writing, five rides had sold out including one of three Boxing Day slots.
