Anne Mitchell, Partner at the Farm Shop, said: “We invited youngsters to come and celebrate Easter in our wonderful new Rumwell Orchard extension with its magical views across our lovely apple orchard.
“Everyone had an egg-cellent time and the children were very excited to meet our special guest, the Easter Bunny, as well as enjoy entertainment from J’s Disco, including fabulous balloon modelling, amazing magic and fun games.
“We’d like to say a huge congratulations to Theodora, aged 13 months, for having the best costume on the day. She was dressed as an Easter Bunny. We were very impressed with everyone’s efforts and would like to say ‘thank you’ to everyone for getting into the Easter spirit.
“For anyone who missed out on this party, don’t worry we’ve lots of others coming up this year that are family-friendly, including our Halloween Children’s Party at the end of October and we’ve some very special Father Christmas events in December. Watch this space! We’ll be announcing more soon.”
