UK's first disability park opens in Oxfordshire
A new farm park, designed around the needs of children with varying disabilities, has been opened by Prime Minister David Cameron.
The £1m attraction, based in Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire and funded almost entirely by park owners Nick and Nicola Laister, is the UK's first visitor attraction designed specifically around the needs of disabled children.
Fairytale Farm features an adventure play zone and fairytale sensory zone. It also includes an area to meet a variety of farm animals including Miniature Shetland ponies, Rhea birds, and South American alpacas.
The Prime Minister described the project as "inspirational" and Nick Laister said the project was "the culmination of five years' work" and that "we would have loved to have visited with our own daughter when she was younger."
