Reaseheath College is preparing to welcome visitors back for not just one, but two fantastic Lambing and Zoo weekends this year.
The much-loved lambing experience takes place on Saturday and Sunday, March 1-2, and again on Saturday and Sunday, March 8-9, offering families the chance to meet the adorable new arrivals and learn more about life on the farm.
Lambing is always a highlight of the spring season, and the college is looking forward to opening the farm gates once again to share this special time with the public.
Visitors will have the opportunity to see plenty of healthy lambs, explore the lambing sheds, and enjoy a fun, educational day out. Reaseheath Mini Zoo will also be open, featuring a variety of fascinating animals, and a Farmers’ Market will showcase delicious local produce.
Reaseheath Farm Manager Chris Chambers said: “The Lambing and Zoo Weekends are a long-standing tradition here at Reaseheath and a fantastic way for families to experience the magic of new life on the farm.
“The college is thrilled to be able to welcome visitors across two weekends this year, giving even more people the chance to meet the lambs and enjoy a great day out.”
The Lambing and Zoo Weekends will run from 10am-4pm on all four days, with tickets including entry to both the Lambing Sheds and Reaseheath Mini Zoo, as well as access to the Farmers’ Market and food outlets. Parking is free and conveniently located on-site.
Tickets are available to buy online at www.reaseheath.ac.uk/lambing, and spaces are selling quickly.
While live births cannot be guaranteed, there will be plenty of opportunities to learn about the lambing process, interact with the college’s farming experts and agriculture students, and discover more about the farming world.
Animal welfare remains the top priority, and the experienced farm team and vets will be on hand to ensure that all ewes and lambs receive the best possible care.
