A North Somerset tourist and family attraction has beaten fierce competition to claim a South West business award.

Puxton Park, off the A370, was awarded the Live Experience of the Year award at the Bristol Lifestyle Awards.

The ceremony was held at Bristol Harbour Hotel and Spa on March 29.

The park beat popular attractions like Bristol Zoo, Bristol Aquarium and @Bristol to claim the coveted business prize.

Puxton Park, which boasts a range of farm attractions, play equipment and a farm shop, is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year.

It recently bolstered its offering by building a new adventure barn which features an auditorium and animal pens.

A Puxton Park spokesman said: “We owe a debt of gratitude to the visitors, members and advocates who not only voted for us but who return to us again and again.

“We and aim to repay their support with an invigorated commitment to family fun, entertainment and of course, customer service.”
