Farm park reopens after losing animals in fire

A family farm attraction that had to close after losing some of its animals in a fire is reopening permanently from Valentine's Day.

A building was destroyed and several animals were killed after a fire broke out at the family-owned Animal Farm Adventure Park in Berrow, near Burnham-on-Sea in Somerset, in November.

After successfully opening for a few days at the end of last year, the park has now announced it will fully reopen from Saturday.

Krystal Finch, one of the managers at the site, said: "We are a bit nervous but it's great to have people back through the door. A lot of people have missed us. We've got members that come every weekend normally."

During the closure, the park has welcomed the birth of three baby goats, who are the park's "first ever" triplets.

Finch added: "It's been very tough. I think we really haven't had any spirit in our souls until these new arrivals. The new births lifted our spirits. It's giving us a spark in our souls.

"This is why we're here, this is why we're doing it."
