A brand-new attraction is set to open at Puxton Park, on the A370 near Weston-super-Mare, later this month.

The park’s management team, pictured, broke ground at the animal discovery barn site earlier this year and the facility will open to the public on October 22.

The barn will feature a 250-seat auditorium, an animal enclosure and a heated education centre, and it will be used for live shows and opportunities to meet Puxton’s animals.

Its grand opening will take place from 9am-4.30pm and guests will have the chance to meet Shaun The Sheep.
