Live lambing returns to Cotswold Farm Park — with brand-new after dark event

One of the UK's largest lambing events returns this February 2025, as Cotswold Farm Park reopens for the spring — with even more chances to meet the newborn lambs and maybe witness a live birth at its new after dark lambing events, too!

It's time to meet Gloucestershire's newest bundles of joy as Adam Henson's Cotswold Farm Park opens its gates for the first time this year, with the return of its ever-popular lambing and kidding season.

One of the largest lambing events of its kind in the UK, there's over 600 lambs and kids due to be born at the farm this spring — including a number of rare breeds, demonstrating the farm park's commitment to rare breed conservation.

And with so many pregnant ewes, there's a good chance visitors will see a live birth or two, too!

Watch the new arrivals take their first steps and learn more about them with daily lambing talks from the farm park's team of experts, with opportunities to participate in bottle-feeding sessions later in the spring.

For an extra special behind-the-scenes look at the farm's most exciting season, there are also two late-night lambing events taking place on Saturday 1 and Saturday 8 March 2025, with dinner, drinks and a night of entertainment as well as VIP access to the barn after dark.

Due dates can vary, but the park is set to reopen after the winter on Friday 14 February 2025, just in time for February half term.
