Will Arrowsmith, manager of the farm park, said: "The event went really well, it was our first time holding the event over four days and we've had great feedback about the event already.

"We had about 4,000 people visit the park over the Eggstravaganza, which given last's annual visit figures of 40,000, is incredible.

"The weather certainly helped, but it's a very promising start for the season and hopefully means more great attendance figures and we're very excited for the future of the farm park."
