The Barn
Seasonal Events
Join us throughout the year for our epic family-friendly seasonal events, including Lambing Live in February, Halloween in October and Father Christmas Experience in December.
All three are situated inside our giant Events Shed, have free parking, a full bar & streetfood available, on-site toilets and are also home to our Eco-Skating rink.
Lambing Live sees our Events Shed turn into a lambing nursery, where expectant ewes are giving birth under the watchful eye of our shepherdess and farm team. Visitors are able to watch lambs take their first steps and then decorate their own handmade lamb-shaped gingerbread biscuit.
Open during the February half-term.
October brings about Halloween and pumpkin picking. Every May we plant 15,000 seeds ready to give our visitors 1,000's different pumpkins, from small novelty ones to your classic orange pumpkin, ready to pop into your trolley.
Open during the October half-term.
In December we launch our Father Christmas Experience, where families are able to enjoy an Elf Show, visit Father Christmas himself to receive a gift and join in with our festive activities. Open every weekend in December and the full week leading up to Christmas Eve.
Event updates will be announced on our social media, so make sure you're following along!
