A MULTI award-winning farm park has announced that it will be joining the Moreton Show, bringing alpacas, miniature ponies and pygmy goats. 

Attwell Farm Park which welcomes over 200,000 visitors a year in Beoley will be at the Moreton Show on September 7. 

Oliver Arundel from Attwell Farm Park, said: "Shows like the Moreton Show are fantastic opportunities for families to learn all about British farming and animals.

"We're thrilled to be part of the Moreton-In-Marsh Show 2024!

"Visitors will have the chance to meet some of our family favourite animals, including our charming alpacas, miniature ponies, pygmy goats, the world's largest spider, and incredible insects from the rainforest."

Attwell Farm Park has won TripAdvisor’s Travellers’ Choice Awards 2024, Visit Worcestershire’s Tourism Award for Large Visitor Attraction of the Year 2023/4 and Muddy Stiletto’s Best Family Attraction 2023/4 throughout Gloucestershire and Worcestershire.

Attwell Farm Park started with a few chickens and Farmer Mike selling eggs door-to-door on his push bike to neighbouring villages.

From these humble beginnings, Mike grew into one of the top poultry producers in the UK, specialising in Christmas turkeys.

In 2017, the first year they diversified and became a small open farm, they welcomed 1,813 visitors, only employed a handful of staff but they were committed to offering educational farm experiences to anyone who walked through the gate.

Fast forward to 2024, they now employ over 40 members of staff, facilitate work placements for local schools, colleges, neurodiverse groups and local organisations.

Although Attwell Farm Park has grown immensely in the past seven years, Farmer Mike’s mission to encourage anyone and everyone to enjoy a really, hands on farm experience has not wavered.

Stuart Mace, Show Chair said: "The Moreton Show team has listened to its visitors and packed in even more fun for the family this year.

"The accredited official statics issued by the government in September 2023, highlighted that 35% of the principal farmers and holders were aged 65 or older, only 16% were under 45 years old.

"So, in 2024 we welcome the award winning Attwell Farm Park to the stage to try to close that gap and encourage the younger generation to join us."
