It’s lambing season at Willows Activity Farm, and to mark what the venue calls the cutest time of the year, half-term will see a whole range of activities as part of their February Frolics event.
Visitors will be able to see lamb bottle-feeding demonstrations, learn all about lambs from the livestock team, and some lucky guests will actually be able to see lambs being born.
Children can also look forward to meeting Bo Peep who will be looking for her sheep everyday at Willows. She will be starring in regular shows in the Peter Rabbit Theatre throughout the day.
Chief executive Lyssa Elster said: “More than 40 pregnant ewes are ready to give birth to twins and triplets this February half term as everyone on the farm gears up for lambing season.
“Ewes are typically pregnant for between 142 and 152 days so our livestock team has carefully-timed it to make sure as many as possible are ready to give birth during the February half term period.
“We are expecting 35 sets of twins and 15 sets of triplets to be born this February. Once they’ve given birth the ewes and their new lambs will be transferred to our lamb nursery where visitors can see them taking their first steps in the big wide world.”
February Frolics takes place between February 17-25. Tickets include all activities, shows and adventure play and can be purchased in advance online with savings on family tickets.
