Flock to farm park Attraction is ready to welcome 900 new arrivals
ADAM Henson’s Cotswold Farm Park is ready to welcome 900 adorable new animal arrivals this Spring.
The farm in the heart of the Cotswolds is set for lambing and kidding where visitors can witness newborns taking their first steps.
Last year’s event welcomed 800 new arrivals, the biggest of its kind in the UK, and 2024 promises to be equally as exciting with over 900 lambs and goat kids expected.
There will be a mix of commercial and rare breed ewes giving birth, including Kerry Hills, Herdwicks and the county breed, the Cotswolds.
Experts from the farm will be onhand to share their knowledge with daily lambing talks to help visitors learn all about the new arrivals. Later in the year, bottle feeding sessions and interactive demonstrations will ensure an immersive experience for all.
The Animal Barn will offer an array of animal encounters with creatures such as Strawberry the social media sensation cow, to Ellen the Iron Age sow and her piglets to see up close. You can also purchase a bag of animal feed to attract their attention.
The Farm Park’s Discovery Barn offers visitors the chance to learn about a variety of small animals, including rabbits and guinea pigs. This educational space will encourage curiosity and sensory development in young minds.
The Adventure Barn provides a safe indoor play area where kids can explore, climb and play, with a sand pit, traversing wall, soft play area and rideon tractors while adults can get a hot drink from The Shed Cafe.
Outdoor activities such as bouncy pillows, swings, sandpits, pedal tractors and play areas are also on offer to help foster children’s imagination and provide a place for them to let off some steam.
With over fifty breeds across seven species, Cotswold Farm Park’s Rare Breeds Trail is open for animal enthusiasts who will be able to spot an array of animals such as Golden Guernsey goats and Highland Cattle. The trail has animal interactions and facts about the importance of conservation.
As part of the February half term celebrations, Cotswold Farm Park will host live music nights, the next on Saturday February 17.
These evenings will offer visitors the opportunities to enjoy food and live performances from the on-site Ox Shed Café.
