Oxfordshire farm crowned England’s best farm attraction

A DISABLED-FRIENDLY ‘wonderland’ has been named England’s fastest-growing farm attraction.

A survey carried out by travel website Visit England shows the number of visitors to Fairytale Farm in Chipping Norton grew by 56 per cent between 2018 and 2019 to 37,825.

The farm was opened in 2013 by then-Prime Minister and Witney MP David Cameron.

The popular attraction is set to reopen on Wednesday, December 3 and its Christmas Fairytale event will begin on December 5.

Owner Nick Laister said: “This year has been very difficult for us, as I know it has been for all seasonal attractions.

“We have had to rely on a GoFundMe campaign to feed our animals through the two lockdowns as we have had to temporarily close, but we have got through thanks to the flexibility and support of our team and the many people who donated.

“We are currently using the lockdown to prepare for what will be our most magical Christmas Fairytale experience yet when we reopen in December.

“And we are pledging that we will refund tickets in full if we cannot open for the festivities.”

Fairytale Farm was the first mainstream visitor attraction designed to cater for children with special needs, but is also accessible to all.
