Lambing Experiences 2027

We invite you to us for Lambing 2027 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 120 lambs due in spring 2027, 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, learn all about what to look for in ewes that are getting close to lambing. 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. See how we make sure newly-born lambs are warm, fed and thriving. You'll learn what we check for in those crucial first hours and why getting the right start is so important.

• 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 real farming experience, not a staged animal encounter. You'll get to see what lambing is genuinely like on a working family farm, while having plenty of opportunities to ask questions and get up close to our sheep and lambs.

Things to Know Before Booking

• While every care is taken to ensure happy, healthy births, we can't always guarantee that every lambing will go to plan. Occasionally, complications or loss can occur, just as they can on any working farm. We believe it's important to give our visitors an honest insight into the realities of farming, alongside all the wonderful moments that lambing season brings.

• For health and safety reasons, this experience is not suitable if you are pregnant, as close contact with sheep can pose risks.
