Rutland Farm Park enters its final week of public opening today

and they are encouraging visitors to come along and make their last few days extra special. Retirement and the increasingly challenging environment are reasons they are closing their doors at the end of Sunday, the 12th of April. Julie and Amy Ball say they've got lots on to see today and through the week. 

‘We got lots of activities on. We got the face painters coming in, the Easter Bunny is coming to visit us. And then for the rest of the week it is all Easter activities around the farm. I've got some Easter games there at Easter and activities going on in the pigsty which would change every day. Really just want everyone come down and just enjoy the sunshine while it is here. Enjoy seeing all the animals, have some fun, let their hair down and enjoy the fresh air.’
