Stepping out from Newbarn Farm this spring!

Here are just a few events taking place this April........Visit the tiger cubs at Paignton Zoo, this is a rare chance indeed to see such a truly moving sight. All four cubs have survived and thrived over the last six weeks although it was expected one could die. Their antics will be able to be viewed by a remote-control webcam which will cover the large public tiger enclosure plus a second installed in one of the dens can be viewed on a flat screen monitor set up by the tiger enclosure window showing live pictures from the cameras.

This system will go live at Easter when the cubs are due to make their first public appearance. Newbarn Farm offers discounted tickets for entrance to Paignton Zoo and her sister company Living Coasts in Torquay where a huge Golden Easter Egg Hunt will take place ove the Easter weekend. Children will be able to take part in this egg hunt with a difference; each day guests will have the opportunity to find ten silver eggs and one golden egg. Everyone who finds a silver egg will win chocolate mini eggs - however the lucky person who finds the golden egg will win the chance to feed the penguins on that day.

Over a Occombe Farm on Sunday 26th April there is rare chance to see the innermost planet Mercury and the ringed planet Saturn through a telescope with expert Chris Proctor. You will also explore the craters of a crescent moon and see the subtle but beautiful earthshine on the moon's dark side with a hot drink in hand!

If cloudy on the night you will have the alternative of exploring the Occombe Farn nature trail on a dusk safari with bat detectors! Meet at the entrance to Occombe Farm Cafe at 7.45pm. Adult;£3.50 Children £2.50 - includes a tea, coffee or hot chocolate. Back in Torquay at the Princess Theatre, The Top of The Tots will be performing; ten years after bursting onto the scence, The Tweenies are back with their chart-busting new show!
