A popular resident at a goat centre in Stoke Mandeville has been immortalised in a chalk artwork.

Apricot the goat, a favourite among visitors to Bucks Goat Centre, had her likeness recreated by Mel Cairn (@i.am.melc) at the entrance to the Craft Goat Café, at the Layby Farm complex.

Ruth Higgins, who runs the Bucks Goat Centre, said: "What an amazing job Mel has done, this is so completely Apricot and we have had so many comments about the artwork.

"Layby Farm is a real creative hub, with so much going on in the world of art and crafting in our network of shops.

"So it is lovely when the farm and art collide in projects like this.

"Apricot is very impressed too."
