Flying Hawks, Racing Rabbit (the white one of course) Slithering Snakes and skipping lambs all added to the fun at Farming World over the Easter Holidays Thankfully enjoyed under sunny skies.
Farming World had a very successful Easter weekend. On Good Friday visitors were able to try their hand at flying one of the Centre's amazing Birds of Prey on the "Have a Go" day.
On Saturday there were many Easter themed activities such as Easter Egg decorating competition (winners to be decided after the Easter break) and Bunny face painting
Easter Sunday was extremely special as The Mad Hatter and the Easter Bunny made appearances all afternoon. The Mad Hatter's Tea Party was a huge success, all the children loved the fabulous games, egg hunts and the excitement of having to find the White Rabbit using clues to find him.
The sunny weather brought the crowds flocking on Bank Holiday Monday, when the Easter Bunny kept visitors entertained and helped with hunting for their Easter Eggs. There was a pretty array of Easter bonnets, with Nye Valley winning the over 5yrs, and James White winning the Under 5yrs.
The Easter school holidays continued throughout the following week with all sorts of Creepy Crawlies. Visitors were able to meet an enormous python, cuddle a friendly gecko, and overcome any fears of big fast hairy spiders, all part of the exhibitions from Reptiles R Us and Invicta Arachnid Club.
