Volunteers needed to work with animals at Tiny Steps Petting Farm in Thurlby

If your idea of heaven is a day spent surrounded by animals, then a petting farm has just the opportunity.

Tiny Steps Petting Farm in Thurlby is getting ready to re-open in April and volunteers are needed to help out with the visitor attraction's collection of animals.

Having hit the headlines thanks to the antics of Ant and Dec the wallabies, who went on a 'walkabout' over the winter, the pair are now safely back in their enclosure and ready to meet the public for the first time from April 4.
