Owners of a popular farm best known for its ice cream have decided to close for more than a week as a thank you to staff.

It has been a busy festive period for Churchfields Farmhouse Ice Cream in Salwarpe, near Droitwich, which ran events throughout December.

The cafe and play area will be closed from 4pm today (Monday) until 10am on Thursday, January 12.  

A spokesperson from the farm said: "We'll be closed from 4pm 2nd January until 10am on 12th January to give the Churchfields team a well-deserved break.

"We look forward to seeing you again soon."

Throughout December, the cafe held Farmer Christmas at Churchfields events.

Families were able to enjoy magic, song and dance as well as a picture with Father Christmas.

They also decorated gingerbread and made reindeer food and there was also a festive fairy trail for families to enjoy.
