A WATER-LOGGED farm park with animals has closed temporarily - but the rest of the business is open, including the cafe and shop.

Top Barn Farm Park near Worcester is closed temporarily because of water logging in the wet weather - but the cafe, refill station, butchers and deli are all open.

The farm park is the part of the site that contains the animals, including sheep, pigs, donkeys, ponies, goats, rabbits, guinea pigs and chicks. 

Managers have kept their customers closely informed of the situation via their Facebook page.

The venue, which offers free admission, is a popular destination for families with a play park with slide, swings and sandpit and games for children.

Nearby, in Grimley, another business battled on for their customers -  the Camp House Inn next to the River Severn putting on a boat service to ferry the regulars across 'the moat' of flood water which surrounded the pub.

A spokesperson for the business in Holt Heath said on their Facebook page on Thursday: "Farm Park TEMPORARILY closed, due to water-logging… It’s pretty slippery out there, so to avoid slips and trips, and preserve the grass the farm park (only) is closed for 10 days. Thanks for bearing with us.

"Play area: OPEN CoffeeCabin: OPEN Farm Shop: OPEN Refill Station: OPEN Plastic-free veggies: OPEN Butchers: OPEN Deli/kitchen: OPEN #soggyseason #wellyweather #heavysoils #winterclosing #temporary #hotlunches #goodcoffee."

The farm shop deli/kitchen provides homemade savoury pastries, freshly filled baguettes, antipasti and more; bacon baps, homemade cakes.

The traditional butchery sells local free-range meats including, as often as possible, grass-fed Top Barn Hereford Beef.

The CoffeeCabin take-away sells a range of refreshments.

Top Barn also caters for birthdays and school trips.
