CHILDREN experienced all the fun of the farm at St Mary's Playgroup when they had some cute and cuddly animal visitors.

The owners of Roves Farm in Sevenhampton, near Highworth, took along three goats to see the youngsters on Thursday.

They have been learning the story of the Three Billy Goats Gruff.

Bill, Ben and Roger the goats delighted both the children and the staff at the playgroup in Bessamer Street, Rodbourne Cheney.

Roves Farm is well-known for letting youngsters meet and feed its animals.

Next year it is taking a roadshow to primary schools around Swindon to teach them more about animals and the countryside environment.

Joanna Burr, joint owner of Roves Farm, said: "The goats' visit was a fun opportunity for the children to learn about animals and brought the story of the Three Billy Goats Gruff to life for them."

Any groups who would like to organise a similar visit can call the farm on 01793 763939.
