MORE than 60 children from a children's hospice, along with their families, enjoyed a day out at Willows Farm Village in London Colney.

There were smiles all around as the children from Noah's Ark in Barnet, their brothers, sisters and parents were treated to fun fair rides, falconry displays, tractor rides and a farm tour on Wednesday, June 6.

Kathryn Goodman, Noah's Ark family activities co-ordinator, said: "The children have absolutely loved it. It was nice to see them free to roam around and visit the animals in a safe and secure environment. This has been a fantastic family day for our families."

Willow's Farm picked Noah's Ark as its chosen charity for 2011 and 2012.
