See lambs?

[pitterpatterson]

how do people go see the lambs in lambing season generally? Is it through farms that allow for lamb feeding?

i am looking for a nice day out with a friend, no kids.

Cotswold farm park (Adam Henson place) do lambing live. DD saw one born there yesterday. It's in Cotswolds if that any good? Food in restaurant good apparently but I'm too near and too mean to have tried it 😂
You can camp there too - folk in camper vans at this time of year

Also Roves Farm on the Wilts/Glos/Oxon border.

I’m not aware of anywhere that will let you feed the lambs but there are lots of places that you can visit during lambing season so that you can see the new-born lambs and potentially witness a birth.

It'd help if you said whereabouts in the country you are.
The only places I've seen lamb feeding it's really been aimed more at children

Where in the country are you?

There's a site which has a lot of sheep/lamb farms and the vast majority of those have lambing events (usually over Easter): https://treehub.co.uk/farms/category/lamb-sheep/

Hope that helps!

I think we may need to know where you are!
Where I am there's a farm where you can hold baby lambs

Community farms and farm parks?

There's a few places where I am that let you feed lambs. Its aimed at kids, but when we went there were plenty of adults doing it too. I ended up doing it as my son was too nervous!

If you just want to look at them and not pet/feed th, you could just drive around my area 😆

There are near me, I think you might have to pay to go but I've seen photos on SM of children holding lambs at farm open days at this time of year

If you are in South Wales this sounds lovely

Can you say what area you are in?

We are surrounded by fields of sheep, and one year I even had the privilege of seeing a lamb being born.

If you are anywhere near South Yorkshire Cannon Hall Farm is a good place to visit. You might also see baby goats and piglets.

If you are near Wiltshire, the local agricultural college runs special family weekends:

I've not been for a decade, but it was busy busy even back then. It isn't too far from the M4.

Closer to Stonehenge/Salisbury there is a Youth Hostel next to this little rare breeds farm: choldertonrarebreedsfarm.com

Thank you so much for the replies everyone!
I am in central London but going to be in Cornwall over Easter. So around Falmouth, or anywhere on the way with a reasonable deviation will work for us (a303/ a30)

I am not particularly keen on feeding them, no 😂 it just came up on my fb feed as an Easter activity

Bodmin Moor or Dartmoor. Sheep and lambs running free. Open access. There now as live on Dartmoor. Please don't get too close. Mother's get protective.
