Community farm to feature on BBC show

Saturday, 25 March 2023 00:00

River Bourne Community Farm will feature on BBC One next week on the daytime show, Escape to the Country.

The team from the show visited the farm in Laverstock in August last year to show segments for the show.

The photos show that presenter Nikki Chapman fell in love with the animals whilst there.

On the show, Nikki and the team of other presenters help house buyers who want to swap city living for a home in the country.

On Tuesday (28th March), the episode will feature Wiltshire and the area around Salisbury. The description on the show's website says, "Nicki Chapman helps today's buyer escape her ex-council flat in south London and begin a new life in the Wiltshire countryside. Nicki also visits a trout farm."

The show is due to be broadcast at 3 pm on Tuesday on BBC One and will then be available on iPlayer.
