VIP Lambing Experience at Sacrewell

3 April @ 5:30 pm - 28 April @ 7:00 pm

£32.50 – £125

VIP Lambing Experience

Experience the magic of spring at Sacrewell. This April, lambing returns and we’re excited to let you know we have a brand-new VIP lambing experience. Throughout our Easter event the livestock team will be bottle-feeding our cade (orphan) lambs but if you’d like to get hands-on and try this for yourself, we have a unique experience just for you.

To ensure the welfare of our lambs (and that we are adhering to the five freedoms) we are inviting families and small groups of up to 4 people to book a one-on-one lambing experience. The sessions will take place at 5.30pm Monday – Friday from 3rd – 28th April and you will have the chance to get up close with our cade lambs and give them their evening feed.

Each day we will accommodate one VIP lambing experience, either:

  • a family (up to 6 people) with 4 people interacting with the lambs and 2 spectators
  • small group (up to 4 people)

The experience lasts 1 hour 30 minutes, bottle feeding the lambs will begin at 6pm so please arrive promptly at 5.30pm. The lambs will not wait for their dinner! Once the lambs are fed you will have a guided tour of the farm. During the tour you will learn about our rare breed animals and have the opportunity to ask any questions.

Please note you will not have access to the play park, play barn or any other facilities at Sacrewell this is purely just a VIP lambing experience. Toilets will remain open should you require them. At 7pm the experience ends, and you will be guided off site.

T&C’s apply: Please only book one session this allows up to 6 people – 4 people interacting with lambs and 2 spectators. No pregnant ladies can attend this lambing experience. All participants must wear wellies as they will be asked to dip their boots before entering the barn. This is a preventative measure to stop the spreading of disease.
