For more than 10 years, staff at Snugburys have been building sculptures in their field. The giant Peter Rabbit was made last summer.

The farm wrote on its website: "The whole Snugburys family grew up listening to the stories of Peter and his friends.

"They therefore felt it was only fitting to dedicate this year's straw sculpture to Beatrix Potter. In total around 1,000 man hours have been spent creating the feature.

"The inspiration for the blue jacket came from recycling the blue bags our packaging arrives in. We hand wove a thin layer of blue bags over the straw and we are really pleased with the outcome.

"The whole structure weighs in at an impressive 8 tonnes and Peter stands at 38 ft tall, with his 10 ft carrot and 10 ft ears!"
