From the city to the countryside: Teddy the Shetland's weekend escape to Lucknam Park Hotel & Spa

Following time in the big smoke over the summer, Teddy the Shetland is set to swap the streets of London for the quintessential green pastures of the English countryside. Lucknam Park is delighted to announce that for one special weekend, Teddy will be the hotel’s most treasured guest. 

On the 9 and 10 October 2021, Teddy with trot through the gates of Lucknam Park to spend the day exploring the hotel’s 500 acres of parkland. Over the weekend, families can embark on an exciting treasure hunt with Teddy in tow searching for his beloved brushes throughout Lucknam Park’s most iconic spots such as the tree-lined driveway and the Rose Garden. The hunt will be followed by a BBQ in the gardens, feasting on locally sourced meat and produce from neighbouring farms. A perfect day trip for those who live locally, or a special surprise for those on a weekend away, Teddy’s countryside minibreak is not to be missed this October.

Guests will also have the opportunity to visit Teddy in his private stable at Lucknam Park each afternoon during the residency. Little ones will be entranced by Teddy’s charming good looks, infectious personality and cheeky character, with staff on hand to take family photographs with the self-confessed “international heartbreaker”. 

Teddy is not the first pony to roam Lucknam Park’s parkland, as the hotel’s impressive Equestrian Centre is home to 35 horses of all sizes and capabilities. Throughout the grounds, the hotel’s magnificent horses can be found grazing or galloping around the various paddocks and fields.

Under the experienced eye of Dawn Cameron, who has managed the equestrian centre for over 20 years, the hotel also offers group riding, corporate packages, equine connect therapy and, on occasion, specialist clinics with top riders from the around the world.
