Tickets are selling fast for this year’s Springtime Live, showcasing a host of farm animals and fun activities for children.

Visitors can buy their tickets in advance and online only until noon on Friday March 30, ready for the event at the Great Yorkshire Showground in Harrogate on Easter Saturday.

Children can get close to a host of farm animals from chicks to lambs, piglets to calves, goats and rare breed sheep. Once inside the event, all demonstrations and hands on workshops are free including Mr Bloom from CBeebies and his band.

Due to the popularity of the event, entry is by advance ticket only.
