On the 26th March 2020, the UK saw lockdown measures legally come into force in an effort to combat Covid-19. The country was facing a situation that was, quite simply, unprecedented.
It was a necessary move in an effort to save lives.
But lockdown created other problems, not least that businesses everywhere were suddenly facing financial disaster as the Government struggled to comprehend the scale of lockdown’s impact.
This is the story of one such business, a popular visitor attraction on the edge of the New Forest – Longdown Activity Farm. Lockdown brought the business and its owners to the very brink.
Discover what happened when a farm that sits at the heart of the community was rescued by a community with a heart.
