CHILDREN got the chance to meet newborn lambs and pet baby guinea pigs at an open day for a Stockton charity at the weekend.

To mark National Autism Awareness Day, the autism charity Daisy Chain held a day of special activities for the families they support, with the petting barn being fully open at its farm in Norton, near Stockton.

Little ones could also enjoy the charity’s soft play, outdoor playground and other fun activities as part of the open day on Saturday.
