Lambing Experiences

Experience the Joy of Lambing on Our Farm!

Lambing Experiences 2026

We invite you to us for Lambing 2026 on our working family farm in Somerset!
This is a rare chance to take part in a hands-on lambing experience that’s small, personal, and authentic. Unlike large commercial farm tours, our sessions are relaxed, educational, and designed to give you a true insight into the magical world of lambing.

With over 100 lambs due in spring 2026, there will be plenty to see, learn, and enjoy during your visit.

What to Expect on Your Lambing Experience

Each experience follows the natural rhythm of the farm, so no two visits are ever the same. Here’s a taste of what you might enjoy:

  • Checking on the Pregnant Ewes

Start your visit by checking our expectant ewes. With a bit of luck, you may even witness a live lambing – guided by Tamsyn, our experienced shepherdess.

  • Visiting the Lambing Nursery

Step into the nursery and meet our new-born lambs, each settling in with their mothers in cosy pens. This is where the special bond between ewe and lamb begins.

  • Cuddling Orphan Lambs

Our playful orphan lambs love attention! In the pet pen, you’ll have the chance to hold, feed, and cuddle them – a highlight for children and adults alike.

  • Exploring the Fields

Depending on the day, we may head out into the fields to see older lambs and ewes enjoying the fresh grass and open skies of Somerset.

  • Helping with Lambing Chores

Roll up your sleeves and join in with the daily farm tasks:

  • Bedding down pens

  • Feeding sheep and lambs

  • Topping up water troughs

It’s a chance to experience the reality of farm life during lambing season.

  • 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.

  • Lovely

    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.
