Lambing Experience - FAQs

Where does lambing take place? The experience is hosted in purpose-built, undercover lambing barns connected to Lower Drayton Farm - the award-winning family farm attraction.

Is the lambing experience indoors? Yes - all lambing is in fully undercover barns, so families can enjoy it comfortably in any weather.

Will we see a live lamb being born? Live births cannot be guaranteed. Some occur during visiting hours, so you may be lucky enough to witness one.

Can children bottle-feed the lambs? No - bottle-feeding is not offered. This ensures lambs remain healthy and are cared for by their mum or a foster ewe, with orphan lambs looked after by our trained farm team.

Does the ticket include soft play? Yes - full admission includes indoor and outdoor play areas, animal zones, and seasonal family activities.

What if it rains or snows? No problem! Lambing barns and indoor play areas are fully undercover, so you can enjoy a full day of fun regardless of the weather.

How long should we allow for our visit? Most families spend several hours, combining lambing with indoor and outdoor play for a full-day visit.

Is lambing suitable for toddlers and young children? Yes - the experience is calm, safe, and family-friendly.

Do we need to book in advance? Booking online is strongly recommended, especially during February half term and weekends, to secure your spot and the best price.
