The Race to the Referendum At Pennywell – Devon Tourist Attraction

Having successfully predicted the outcome of the General Election last May, the Pennywell Miniature Pigs at Pennywell Farm in Devon are once again racing to determine Britain’s future.

As the campaign hots up on, the pint-sized porkers are at it again with a special ‘Referendum Race’ to find out whether the UK should leave or remain.

Four piglets are running, spurred on by an audience representing ‘in’, ‘out’ or ‘shake it all about’ for those who are still undecided. And it’s the undecided’s that have it at the moment so anything could happen!

The piglets who have been named in honour of this historic occasion are, for the In Campaign, David Hameron and George Hogsbourne, while Boar-is Johnson and Iain Duncan-Sniff are hamming it up for the Out Campaign.

Nigel Forage had hoped to make an appearance but sadly he pulled a hamstring in training so won’t be running.

Pennywell Farm’s owner Chris Murray says, “The whole debate has become so heated, we thought it could do with an injection of fun, hence referendum pig racing.

“Hopefully, it will be a little light relief for our visitors”.

The Pennywell miniature pigs will be snout to snout and squeal to squeal at 2.30pm every afternoon up to the big day itself.
