Families are being offered discounted tickets to a popular farm park this summer.

Cockfields Farm Park, on the border of Ashton-under-Lyne and Oldham, has announced lower ticket prices for its 'biggest-ever' Farmlife Festival as part of the Government's Great British Summer Savings initiative.

The festival, which runs from July 25 to August 31, promises six weeks of family-friendly entertainment and activities.

Farmer Kiera said: "We're absolutely delighted to be able to pass these savings directly on to families.

"Cockfields is run by parents, so we completely understand how important it is to be able to enjoy amazing family days out without spending a fortune.

"That's exactly what we're offering this summer – fantastic value, incredible entertainment and memories that families will treasure."

This summer’s Farmlife Festival includes attractions like the giant helter skelter, zorb balls on the paddling pools, the slip 'n' slide, and an expanded foam party with a new stage.

On July 25, the farm expects to welcome around 2,000 visitors for the opening day, which will be followed by a KPop Demon Hunters Tribute Night.

General admission also includes a full day of activities such as tractor rides, animal feeding, cuddle sessions in Cuddle Corner, access to indoor and outdoor play areas, the adventure playground, a carousel, and the farm’s new reptile room.

The festival comes after a busy year for Cockfields Farm Park.

Earlier this year, the farm gained online attention with its Donate a Dummy campaign and attracted thousands of visitors in May following the birth of a Highland calf.

Greg Dunn, manager at Cockfields Farm Park, said: "It's already been an incredible year for us, and honestly, we feel like we're only just getting started.

"The support we've received from families has been amazing, from our viral Donate a Dummy campaign to everyone who followed the arrival of our Highland calf.
