Rare Breeds Centre, Woodchurch promises Easter antics

by Lauren Abbott

The start of April marks the start of pig racing season over at the Rare Breeds Centre.

The farming attraction in Woodchurch near Ashford will begin its much-loved and famous pig races from Saturday, April 1 for the summer season.

And over the Easter bank holiday weekend staff say visitors can help to give the muddy piggies a wash too!

Alongside the usual fun on the farm with friendly animals, Big Red Trailers rides, falconry and the arrival of a few new fluffy lambs, the four-day Easter weekend is shaping up to a busy one for families who visit.
