Farming sisters open pop-up straw bale event

Hundreds of straw bales have been arranged in a maze layout, like last year's event (pictured)

Four sisters have created a children's playground and maze at their Oxfordshire farm using 300 bales of straw.

Emily, Katy, Lucy and Jess have opened the Big Bale Play at High Lodge Farm in Culham, Abingdon, over the May half-term.

They said they came up with the idea for the pop-up event after spending hours playing on bales as children at their family farm in Didcot.

"We all have very fond memories of long evenings chasing each other over them so we thought 'Why not recreate it for the public":[]}
