Spring at the National Forest Adventure Farm is always a season of excitement, but nothing captures the wonder of this time of year quite like lambing. As the countryside begins to bloom and the days grow lighter, our barns come alive with the gentle bleats of newborn lambs and the heartwarming moments that only new life can bring.
Whether you’re a returning visitor or planning your first family day out, lambing days are some of the most unforgettable times to explore the farm.
A Season of New Beginnings 🐑
Every February Half Term, we celebrate New Life on the Farm, a joyful event filled with baby animals, hands‑on experiences, and springtime fun. Lambing is at the heart of it all. Families can watch our ewes caring for their newborns, learn about the lambing process, and see first-hand how our team supports the animals during this special time.
Children love getting up close to the lambs, and grown-ups often find themselves just as captivated. There’s something incredibly grounding about getting involved with lambing events near you.
What to Expect During Lambing Season 🌱
Lambing at Adventure Farm is designed to be both magical and educational. During your visit, you may:
- See newborn lambs taking their first wobbly steps.
- Learn from our knowledgeable team about how we care for pregnant ewes and their babies.
- Discover fun facts about sheep, lamb development, and life on a working farm.
- Experience the rhythms of spring, from feeding time to quiet moments in the barn.
Every day is different, and that’s part of the charm. You might arrive just in time to see a lamb being born!
Perfect for Curious Young Explorers 🧒
Lambing days are brilliant opportunities for children to connect with nature. It sparks questions, inspires imagination, and helps little ones understand where animals come from and how farms work.
Alongside lambing, families can enjoy all the usual Adventure Farm fun, from meeting other adorable animals, to exploring our huge indoor and outdoor play areas. It’s a full day out, combining learning with laughter and smiles.
