POOLE town centre will be celebrating the start of spring with some cute visitors from Farmer Palmer Animal Roadshow this Easter holiday.

Falkland Square will be welcoming rabbits, chicks and maybe a lamb or two as Farmer Palmer’s new animal arrivals take up residence in the marquee from Tuesday to Saturday, April 6 from 11am to 3pm.

There will be free entry and visitors will be able to get up close to the most recent roadshow members. There will be a colouring competition with the chance to win a family pass to Farmer Palmer’s and for a small charge children can have their faces painted as a favourite animal.

Budding performers will have the chance to develop their talents at circus skills workshops from April 8 to 13 in the town centre.
