Come and visit a real working farm at Lambing time. Our lambing shed will be full of ewes (mummy sheep) ready to give birth. Learn about how the farmer looks after the flock at this important time of year and may get to see a real live birth!!
Back by popular demand we have bottle feeding sessions available, these sessions are very limited and must be booked.
Each person booked on the session with a bottle feeding ticket will be given 1 lamb and one bottle to fed it with. Once the lamb has finished its bottle you then have the rest of the session to enjoy a lamb cuddle
Those with an adult spectators ticket this will be a great opportunity to get some great photos and enjoy this special experience.
