Spring is such a lovely time of year, and there's nothing lovelier than all the adorable lambs at our local farms. It's a great experience for kids to see, meet and sometimes even bottle feed the lambs. 

So here's a rundown of lots of local places you can meet newborn lambs...you might even get to see some being born!

Please do check event/attraction details before travelling, in case anything changes.
