Owner of Fairytale Farm, Nick Laister, said: "We are absolutely thrilled with the new data from VisitEngland.

"I think this has been partly down to the new investments that we have made in the site."

In 2023, the farm introduced the £250,000 Fairy Dell development, a new area filled with giant toadstools for visitors to explore.

It has also invested £100,000 in its Dino Valley area, introducing new dinosaurs, including one that rises from a pond.

Mr Laister continued: "Our success is also a testament to our fantastic team.

"Visitors consistently highlight our staff as a key part of their experience, praising their welcoming nature and inclusivity."

The farm was also awarded a Travellers’ Choice Award by TripAdvisor in July, placing it in the top 10 per cent of attractions worldwide based on reviews and ratings collected over the past year.

Mr Laister added: "The past 12 months have been truly fantastic for Fairytale Farm."
