Sheep farmers David and Fiona Taylor, of Hadsham Farm, at Horley, near Banbury, will be welcoming families for a ‘lambing live’ event. It will run from this Saturday (April 10 right up until the end of the Easter school holiday on April 23, from 10am-4pm each day, including bank holidays.
Farmer David Taylor said: “This is great opportunity to understand how sheep farming helps to shape the Oxfordshire countryside and to celebrate new life on the farm. Our lambing event will be a great experience for all the family – with various additional activities, refreshments and a chance to meet the farmers and ask any questions you like!
“There will be story boards which will help to explain the annual cycle of a sheep’s life. You may even be lucky enough to see a lamb being born – you can certainly hold one!”
There will also be a chance to get up close to chicks. The farm has parking facilities, picnic areas, a play area, plus toilets and hand-washing facilities. A small admission fee applies.
