In a video shared on its social media page at the end of September, Mainsgill showed HGVs and lorries delivering materials to the farm shop and the area that would be developed. 

The video, which was captioned "Very exciting day today as the steelwork has arrived for our orangery extension," also showed all of the cars that were visiting on that day. 

This development at Mainsgill comes after the success of its sunflower patch and pumpkin patch, while the farm shop has also seen a return of its Christmas decorations and store, which is located on the top floor.
