We'll 2012 looks to be the most exciting year so far here at Fishers...! What with the brand new Birthday Party rooms just opened, Peppa Pig coming to visit and the exhilarating new attraction 'Squirrel Scramble' soon to be launched Fishers is most certainly the best day out in Sussex!

 Without doubt the annual Pantomime at Fishers is a highlight of the Christmas season. From the moment you enter the reception area you are immersed in the Christmas spirit: Father Christmas in his Grotto, a live Nativity performed in the Animal Barn, elves scurrying off to their workshops, and the sweet smell of mulled wine all immediately put you into a festive mood.
Then there is the Pantomime, and this year it was the all-time classic Cinderella. And what a classic production it turned out to be. Tailored to just over one hour – a perfect time for both the very young and not-so-young, this show had all the ingredients of what makes the traditional panto such great entertainment. From the moment the curtain went up the audience was greeted with a dazzling full-cast opening number and was then swept up into the story: enter the Prince, the King and Queen, and Dandini to set the scene. Enter Gertrude and Ermintrude, the Ugly Sisters, followed by the star herself, Cinders; oh how they taunted and bullied her, and got the audience into an “Oh no you don’t” frenzy! Poor Baron Hardup stood no chance. A blinding flash brought the Fairy Godmother into action. A superb coach and horse (Pinky the Shetland pony!) whisked her off to the Ball, and oh what a wonderful, colourful, all-singing and dancing scene followed. Alas Midnight came and the silver slipper was discovered, and yes, it all came right in the end
This was an excellent cast putting on a great show, but special mention must be made of Tim and Tom Rollings whose Ugly Sisters took the stage by storm. These two would grace any theatre anywhere in the land, they were just superb.
Written by Sue Pollard, directed by Natalie Van de Braam, with musical direction by Keith Paul, this sell-out show was truly one to remember.

Here at Fishers we welcome all feedback from our customers and are continually striving to improve, maintain and develop our facilities in order to provide our customers with a safe and happy day out that the whole family can enjoy.
Over the Summer we logged a huge variety of comments from our visitors – one of which was that you wanted a bigger and better area for Baby Changing...so we waved our magic ‘Fishers’ wand this month and ‘The Fishers Team’ have created the new ‘Baby Care Centre’.
Joanne & Simon Butcher-Collier (who have been Annual Members at the Park for 7 years!) commented “It’s really spacious, user-friendly and it’s great that it has a ‘nappy-chute’ as it means the room stays smelling nice! Lola loves the mobiles on the ceiling when she’s being changed and it’s brilliant to have the option of nursing in a private, comfortable area rather than sitting squashed in a corner next to a smelly nappy bin -which you get in some places!”
If you have a great idea for improvement or any feedback to improve our facilities please feel free to contact us on

Halloween Shriek Week Success! |
|
 What a success 'Shriek Week' has proved to be this Halloween...
The girls on the farm have slipped on their dancing shoes and delivered a fantastic 'Spook Show' in our Barn Theatre alongside the loveable 'Willy the Wizard!'. Not only that, this week Fishers launched the brand new 'Goryent Express' ghost tunnel, where actors await the unsuspecting visitors and there were a number of those this week!
Children were running around inside the Pumpkin Patch with brightly painted faces enjoying the 'Blood Burgers' and 'Battered Bites'! So much fun was had by all, we just can't wait till next Halloween...!!

Baa-rilliant New Arrivals! |
|
 We have some new members of the family to introduce to you here at the park this Autumn...!
 Pictured left here is 'Magnus' our 3 year old Shetland Ram. Following the sad departure of 'Sam' our Southdown Ram last season, Magnus will be stepping into his shoes for the up and coming 'tupping season' where he will meet all of our breeding ewes. The 'Shetland' breed of sheep originally came from The Shetland Islands (as you probably guessed!) but share many similarities with the Spaelsau and Vilsau sheep of south western Norway. In 1977 they were classed as category 3 (endangered) by the Rare Breed Survival Trust, but by 2002 they were removed from the RBST list of supported breeds as they had become so popular for their lovely wool!
The new arrival here on the right is 'Muffin' our Toggenburg Nanny goat. She has made great friends with Chester and Sooty the Alpacas, and will slowly be introduced to the other goats here over the next few months. She is only a youngster still and was born in April this year. She's got a lovely nature and we're hoping to include her eventually in the 'Animal Show' in our theatre. Toggenburg's originate in Switzerland (Obertoggenburg to be precise!) and are often credited as being the oldest known dairy breed of goat!
