A willow sculpture trail featuring everything from a giant Paddington and a Dalek to a dinosaur and Peter Rabbit has opened up for the summer holidays.
To celebrate 40 years of Snugburys Ice Cream in Nantwich, the Cheshire farm is hosting the free trail featuring six recreations of the most popular straw sculptures to appear there over the last four decades.
The sculptures are the work of artist Sarah Gallagher-Hayes, who has been making willow creations for 29 years, trading as Twigtwisters.

"I was asked to create the sculptures for the ice cream farm's 40th anniversary," said Sarah, who has a studio based in Dunham-on-the-Hill, Cheshire, from where she also runs workshops.
"Over the past 40 years they have had a selection of largescale sculptures. The current sculpture is of Paddington standing 50ft high, I made his hat and suitcase."
Sarah, who has also created work for the RHS, English Heritage, Manchester Flower Show, as well as TV and film sets, added: "The sculptures are made from Somerset willow, a fantastic sustainable material. They take around two weeks to make. I use the willow like lines of a drawing to create movement and character."
The trail is free to visit at the farm, where families can follow the path through the sunflower field, take photos and admire the sculptures and bright yellow blooms. It's open daily 10am to 6pm.
Kitty Hill, who runs the attraction with sisters Hannah and Cleo after they took over the business founded by their parents Chris and Cheryl Sadler, said: "We decided with it being our 40th we would celebrate by recreating customers' favourite straw sculptures out of willow.
"We’re absolutely delighted to open our new sculpture trail and to welcome visitors to explore it amongst the beautiful surroundings of our wildflower meadow.
"The response so far has been fantastic, with many guests sharing fond memories of the sculptures from their time as our iconic straw creations.
"At Snugburys, we’re always looking for ways to create memorable experiences for families and visitors of all ages, and we’re proud to be able to offer the trail as a free attraction. We hope it brings joy and a smile to people's faces.”
Set in 'a beautiful wild flower meadow', families are encouraged to enjoy an ice cream as part of their visit, with the farm's latest flavour being Miso caramel and brown butter ice cream.
In fact there's a whole ice cream parlour on the site packed with flavours, including everything from pistachio and rum & raisin, to Turkish delight and cappuccino coffee.
You can find Snugburys on the A51 in Hurleston, just outside of Nantwich in Cheshire. Well behaved dogs are welcome if kept on leads.
