The Royal Three Counties Show took the farmyard into the playground yesterday (Wednesday 8 June).
Children of Milestone School in Longlevens, Gloucester were treated to a day to remember with Ronaldo, the Champion Hereford Bull, Acorn the Pig and Dolly the sheep and her friends along with a gleaming tractor paying a visit to the special educational needs school.
The initiative took place to celebrate that this year the Royal Three Counties Show - the largest livestock and equine event in the country and a landmark event in the agricultural calendar - will welcome more children than ever before to immerse themselves in the fun of the farm.
The 2016 event swill see record numbers of schools in attendance with over 3,500 children from over 60 schools paying a visit. This is double figures from the previous year.
Milestone School are also planning a full visit to the Royal Three Counties Show, which takes place from 17th - 19th June, with over 120 pupils from the school coming along to what will be a highlight of their summer term.
Milestone School is a special needs school and many of the pupils are unable to come along to the show because of the challenges they face.
The Royal Three Counties Show took the magic of the premier event to these pupils for one day only to ensure they don't miss out on the immense benefits agriculture can offer SEN children.
