A CHRISTMAS nativity scene with a difference was recreated at a farm in Tintern.

This Christmas the nativity scene includes live animals at Parva Farm, Tintern.

Judith Dudley, from Parva Farm, said: "We wanted to celebrate Christmas and provide something different for the children."

Judith said they did not want to do the usual Father Christmas, so they decided to do something more traditional.

Judith said: "We own our own sheep, cattle and ponies, so we have used them in our nativity scene in one of the stables at our vineyard."

Judith said that she hoped it would be more interesting and would encourage people to see something different.

The live animal nativity scene will be at Parva Farm every weekend from now until Christmas.
