The farm, near Chipping Norton, offers a "magical" experience to visitors mixing fairy tales, animals and adventure play.

Mr White, who is the animal manager at the far, frequently receives high praise from visitors across various social media channels and websites for going the extra mile to make sure their children got the most out of their visit.

Mr White said this about being nominated for the tourism superstar award: "I feel so honoured and delighted to have been shortlisted for this award.

"It's just incredible to be down to the final 10 nominees."

"I enjoy every second of my work, so being recognised for it is truly a wonderful feeling."

"My role at Fairytale Farm has such variety: from meeting new wonderful customers daily, to helping visitors, staff and volunteers achieve their goals, every day is something new.

"Having a little fun along the way with the amazing team at Fairytale Farm makes it really special."

"I love educating kids, but obviously sometimes things do go wrong like when the donkeys go and join the alpacas in their pen for half an hour, but you roll with the punches."

The awards, are now in their 12th year and seek to find the unsung heroes currently working in tourism who provide unforgettable visitor experiences.

There are 10 finalists competing to take the title, with voting open from February 19 to March 24.
