WALTON Hall and Gardens have welcomed their newest residents - two 'very cute' piglets.

The piglets have been introduced to the children's zoo area this week, and a competition is now underway to name them.

Announcing the competition, Walton Hall and Gardens said that the winner of the competition will see the pigs given their suggested names, and will also receive a pig adoption pack.

Suggestions have flooded into the Hall and Gardens on social media, with one commenter, Kerry, suggesting Peppa and Ronnie - a tongue-in-cheek play on words for pepperoni.

A number of entrants suggested Peppa and George, after the beloved children's cartoon 'Peppa Pig', and her younger brother, the dinosaur-obsessed George.

The competition is set to close next Friday, September 30.

Walton Hall and Gardens is accepting entries to the competition via its Facebook page, with comments on the relevant post being eligible for consideration.

As it stands, the post has nearly 200 entries to the competition, and it looks as though even more entries will be flooding into the Hall and Gardens' social media page.

Our entries? Richmond and Frank(furter).
