EASTER at Roves Farm is proving to be a popular hit with hundreds of families making the most of the spring sunshine to visit the working farm in Seven-hampton.

The Easter Bunny has been hopping about the farm since April 5 and he will be on the farm until Easter Monday.

As part of the festivities hundreds of children have also been able to enjoy arts and crafts, making Easter cards, drawing pictures and making fluffy chicks.

They have also been able to help feed the lambs and goats on the farm, and pet the animals.
