🐑 Watergate Farm Lambing Season 2025 - Hockliffe

Friday 18 April 2025
Time: 10:30 - 16:00
🐑 The farm will be open again during the peak Lambing Season during the Easter period.
Visitors can hold the lambs and see a modern sheep farm at work. With over 2000 sheep to give birth, it is a great chance to see lambs being born, taking their first few steps and suckling their mothers for the first time.
👨👩👧👧 What is there to do at the farm?
There is something for everyone, from pony & tractor rides to wool spinning, painting, bouncy castle, lamb cuddles, face painting or just watching the ewes and lambs. Wellies might have to be worn as it can get quite muddy.
🚜 Tractor Ride: £1 (cash only)
🐴 Pony Rides: £2 (cash only)

✨️ Can I hold a lamb?
We can ensure everyone gets the chance to hold a lamb, unless you are pregnant in which it is not recommended.
✨️ Will I see a lamb being born?
During April we have over 500 ewes to lamb so it is very likely that you may witness one being born during the day.
✨️ Can I book to feed a lamb?
We don’t advertise feeding times as there are not enough lambs for everyone to feed, but if your lucky you may be in the right place at the right time!
🌭 Can I buy food and drink?
We sell hot & cold drinks and homemade cakes. The BBQ has locally sourced burgers and sausages. Cash only is required to purchase.
