FAMILIES headed to Foxbury Farm, near Brize Norton, at the weekend to get a close look at the animals.

Four-year-old Erin Bolton and mum Laura, from Carterton, said they had a great time exploring the stalls.

Erin, pictured with her mum and holding a chick, said: “I liked the rides and the animals, but I liked the goats best of all.”

The fun day at the farm shop, which celebrated its 10th birthday this year, included tractor and trailer rides and demonstrations of sheep shearing, cookery, and weaving and spinning.

There was also an art and craft marquee with stalls selling hand-crafted products, home-made cakes and jewellery.
