People are being invited down to Jimmy’s Farm for some Christmas cheer at their biggest festive fayre yet – featuring more than 80 stalls, donkey rides, and live entertainment in the countdown to Christmas.

This Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 4pm, Jimmy’s Farm will be hosting its annual Christmas fayre, with free entry and parking available.

Jimmy Doherty, director of the farm, said: “This is one of the biggest weekends in the Farm calendar and I simply can’t wait.

“This year there are over 80 stall holders offering everything from mulled wine, carols, bands, crafts, Adnams beer, goodies and pretty much everything you’ll need for Christmas.

“The Farm Shop is packed with delights so order your turkey, pick up your Christmas Tree and come and be merry – I’ll see you at the Adnams bar,” said the Suffolk farmer, who has presented shows on BBC and Channel 4.
