Lambing Experiences

Experience the Joy of Lambing on Our Farm!

Lambing 2025 has come to a close, and what a season it’s been!
We were thrilled to welcome over 100 beautiful lambs into the world this spring — a busy, bouncy, and heart-warming time on the farm. Thank you to everyone who joined us to share the magic of new life during lambing season. As we turn our eyes to 2026, we’re already looking forward to doing it all over again. Below, you’ll find all the information on what to expect from our lambing experiences — whether you're a returning visitor or planning your first trip, we can't wait to welcome you.

Join us for a unique and hands-on lambing experience at our 180-acre working family farm. Unlike the commercial tours you might see elsewhere, our experiences are small, personalised, and provide an exciting, educational, and authentic glimpse into the world of lambing.

Each lambing experience is relaxed and flexible, adapting to the natural rhythm of the farm.

Here’s what a typical visit might include:

  • Checking on the Pregnant Ewes: We’ll start by checking on the expectant ewes to see if any are ready to give birth. While we can't guarantee a birth during your visit (fingers crossed!), if a ewe does go into labor, you’ll have the chance to quietly observe and learn about the birthing process from Tamsyn, our skilled shepherdess and your guide.

  • Visiting the Nursery: Spend time in our nursery, meeting our adorable newborn lambs. Each lamb will be in its own pen with its mother, allowing them to bond and establish strong feeding routines.

  • Interacting with Orphan Lambs: Enjoy some quality cuddle time with our playful orphan lambs in the pet pen. These little ones love attention and will happily climb all over you!

  • Exploring the Fields: Depending on the day, we may also take a walk around the fields to see older lambs and ewes enjoying the fresh air and open pasture.

  • Helping with Farm Chores: Get involved in the daily tasks of lambing, such as bedding down pens, feeding the sheep, and topping up water troughs. Experience firsthand the joys and challenges of life on a farm during lambing season.

Lambing is an incredibly joyful and rewarding time on the farm, and we are thrilled to share this experience with you. However, it’s important to note that this is a real-life experience. While we do everything possible to ensure healthy births and happy lambs, nature can be unpredictable, and sometimes there are moments of sadness and loss.

At the end of your visit, you have the option to relax with a delicious homemade cream tea, enjoying stunning views over the farm (pre-order required).

Please Note: For safety reasons, please do not book this experience if you are pregnant, as close contact with pregnant sheep can pose a risk to your unborn baby.

  • Wow!

    Who doesn’t want to be surrounded by lambs ranging from a few hours old to a few weeks!! Tamsyn and Gordon are the perfect hosts. They engaged with us and explained various aspects of lambing, keeping sheep and farm work in general. We had loads of lamby cuddles and we even got involved with much of the associated tasks. We tended to the new born lambs, helped to rearrange the barn so the sheep were better segregated in terms of age of lambs, put the sheep out to the field and even checked on the pregnant ewes to see if any were going in to lamb. We followed this with the Sheep Trekking that Tamsyn also hosts and all I can say is the whole day was a fantastic experience that we would definitely do again.

    Special

    From having a baby lamb galloping towards you, to cuddling it in your arms - this experience was really something special. Tamsyn was absolutely lovely, introduced us to even more of her beautiful animals and made the experience something not only unique but really memorable. Thanks so much.

    A lovely morning out in the open. A great learning experience with a lovely host! Great for all ages too. I learned a lot and really enjoyed the little taste of farm life. Will definitely return when I’m in the area next year. I will never look at sheep the same again, loved them.

    Beautiful

    Had an amazing day learning about lambing, farming and walking sheep! Loved how personal and comfortable it was to be welcomed into such a beautiful setting. Even though the weather was not on our side, we didn’t let it get in our way. Would recommend for anyone who loves animals and wants to learn more about these beautiful animals.

    Fantastic

    Had a fantastic morning with my daughter. Sadly none of the ewes wanted to give birth while we were there, but Eric the little lamb and Larry more than made up for it. Thank you so much Tamsyn for allowing us to have this experience, we will be back soon.
