There are two special events taking place back-to-back at Willows Activity Farm near London Colney over the Easter holidays.
The 500 acre farm park’s annual Easter Eggstravaganza runs from Saturday March 28 until Monday April 6, and features a host of newborn lambs, kid goats,
baby bunnies and spring chicks every day.
Director Andrew Wolfe explained: “We’ve got a number of baby chicks in The Farmyard and 65 newborn lambs – with more being born everyday – to greet our Easter visitors.”
Families will be able to hunt for eggs in the farm’s Easter Garden, while the Easter Grotto, which features 12 unique displays, provides an ideal backdrop for springtime- inspired social media moments.
“Spring is definitely in the air at Willows,” said Andrew. “As well as Easter chicks and spring lambs, our newborn kid goats, piglets and rabbits will also be out to meet visitors.”
With the Easter weekend falling in the middle of the two week school break, Willows has adjusted its programme with Easter celebrations everyday of the first week, before kicking off Jemima’s Jamboree, a spring-themed event, running until Sunday April 12.
Andrew added: “Much-loved CBeebies star and resident farm character, Jemima Puddleduck, will be hosting our spring celebrations in the second week of the school holidays.”
Jemima’s Jamboree sees the farm get ready to welcome ducklings for the first time, and children’s entertainer and magician, Joe Bananawill be casting a spell over guests with shows throughout the Jamboree.
Easter fun hunters can also look forward to a choc-a-bloc schedule of cracking entertainment including spring-themed crafts, pig racing, lamb bottle feeding demonstrations and the return of the undercover sandpit.
Plus resident shepherd, Tuck Hegarty, will be putting Willows’ working sheepdogs, Jess and Biggles, through their paces in the daily Dog and Duck show as they round up six Runner ducks in the show arena.
Tickets include all activities, shows and adventure play and can be purchased in advance online with savings on family tickets.
