One of the South West’s most popular adventure parks is to host its first ever Farmer Wants a Wife event to coincide with Valentine’s Day.

Puxton Park, in Hewish, is to stage the event following the success of ITV reality show Farmer Wants a Wife, whereby contestants hoped to be chosen by one bachelor farmer.

The Somerset adventure park will offer its own take on the show by giving discounted entry to children dressed as farmers or those wearing party dresses for Valentine’s Day.

Discounted entry, at £4 per child with a paying adult, is only into the park during the day, as there will be a disco between 6pm-8pm, hosted by Guinness World Record Holder, DJ Jack Hill, 11, of Weston.

Tickets for the disco must be bought in advance with entry charged £3 per child for members, £4 per child for non-members and all children must be supervised.

Alistair Mead, managing director of Puxton, said: “Farmer wants a wife was a huge hit with spin offs created in numerous countries across Europe, as well as Australia and the US.

“We thought it would be fun to offer our own take on it by hosting a fun Farmer Wants a Wife disco for children and who better to host it than talented DJ Jack Hill.

“Puxton is all about connecting more people with farming and what better way than to encourage the children to come dressed as farmers for a party.

“Some schools are cracking down on Valentine’s Day by not allowing children to send cards, so we want children to come and enjoy the day with us.

“Our Halloween disco is always a huge hit with the youngsters so we anticipate huge crowds to turn out and have a fun Valentine’s Day during half term week.”
