A new petting farm, shop, and café is opening next month.

Gripps Farm, in East Cleveland, is preparing to open its doors in August, though an exact date is yet to be confirmed.

The farm will give visitors the chance to interact with a variety of animals, including pigs, alpacas, cows, and emus.

The opening was announced on Facebook: "Fresh air, friendly animals, and muddy boots guaranteed.

"Gripps Farm is getting ready to open its gates for unforgettable family days out filled with laughter, adventure, and plenty of farmyard fun.

"From feeding the animals to meeting our newest arrivals, there’ll be smiles around every corner."

Families will also be able to visit a farm shop and café.

Gripps Farm has already received an outpouring of support from social media.

One person commented: "Good luck.

"This is going to be great for East Cleveland and bringing people into the area."

According to their website, the site was bought in 2022 and received planning permission in 2023 to begin the construction of the farm shop and petting farm.

The petting farm can be found just off the A174 between Loftus and Saltburn.
