Learning on the Farm - Spring - 27th March at 2pm

from £7.50

Join us during our busy lambing season for a special session designed especially for home educated children.

We’ll take you into the lambing shed to explain what’s happening and why, giving you a real insight into life on the farm at this exciting time of year. There will be fun, themed educational games to spark curiosity and inspire learning conversations.

We’ll also run a hands-on mini workshop where you’ll learn about wool and create something of your very own using fleece sheared from our sheep.

We love your questions and welcome plenty of them! We’re very honest in our answers though… so only ask what you really want to know!

Children must be accompanied by an adult.

Please note: Pregnant women are advised to avoid contact with lambing sheep, therefore this session is not suitable for expectant mothers.

Gates will open at 1.30pm for free exploration and settling into Acorn Hollow. The Lambing Session runs from 2pm until 4pm.

These sessions are not suitable for pregnant women becuase of the risk of the transmission of Toxoplasmosis and other Zoonotic Diseases.

What to Wear

Acorn Hollow is located on a working farm, which means we work whatever the weather, there may be mud, there may be rain, we might have wonderful bright warm sunshine, and there will be animal poo underfoot in places.  Please make sure you wear appropriate clothing, clothes and shoes that are allowed to get muddy are essential.  If you have wellies and waterproofs please bring them with you.  The more layers you can wear the better, that way we can add or take off layers depending on the weather.  During warmer weather please ensure you still wear long trousers or leggings, it would be advisable to apply sun cream before the sessions also as we will be in the sun for much of the time.
