The people of Occombe Farm have expressed their 'great sadness' that its owners are to go into liquidation.
The Torbay Coast and Countryside Trust, which manages the Bay's green spaces including Occombe, has announced it is to cease trading imminently after it was hit by financial difficulties.
Occombe Farm said in a post on their Facebook page: "It is with great sadness that we share the news that Occombe Farm, including our Farm Café and Farm Park & Play attraction has closed.
"Sadly, our parent charity, Torbay Coast & Countryside Trust, is taking steps to go into liquidation.
"We know this news will come as a huge disappointment to our visitors, members, and the local community. Occombe has been a place for families to make memories, for children to learn, and for people of all ages to connect with nature.
"We are deeply proud of what we have built together and enormously grateful for the support, smiles, and loyalty you have shown us over the years. Our priority now is to support our staff and volunteers through this difficult time.
"Thank you to everyone who has been part of the Occombe story – we will always treasure the role this special place has played in Torbay."
