THE FARM animals have returned to Cogges Manor Farm.

This weekend the museum reopened for the new season, welcoming not only hundreds of eager youngsters but also a whole menagerie of animals.

It will be the attraction's second season since it was taken over by the Cogges Heritage Trust and reopened last July.

But last year the trust did not take charge in time to bring animals back.

Mum Alison, pictured above, said: “Amber thoroughly enjoyed it – especially feeding those cute piglets.”

Misha Lee, seven, pictured top inset, from Combe, also enjoyed the day out and having his face painted.

He said: “I went on an assault course and on some swings. I saw the pigs, sheep and goats but the rabbits were my favourite.

Cogges will remain open from Tuesdays to Sundays between 10am and 5pm and at the same times on Bank Holidays until Sunday, November 4.
