An adorable event that will put a spring in the step of any visitor is returning to a Meon Valley farm.

Early booking has been recommended for Lambing Days at Westlands Farm Shop as tickets routinely sell-out for the four-day event in April.

This event from April 9 to 12 is the biggest in the shop’s calendar, offering visitors a rare opportunity to step onto a working Hampshire farm during one of the most important moments in the agricultural calendar.

Tickets have been released early due to overwhelming demand, giving families the chance to plan ahead and avoid disappointment.

Visitors to the farm shop in Wickham can expect to see newborn lambs up close and learn first-hand from the farm team about how ewes and lambs are cared for.

It’s a chance to experience life on a working farm, while learning about sheep farming and seasonal agriculture.

By opening the farm gates each spring, Westlands aims to bridge the gap between field and fork, while giving families, children and food lovers a better understanding of the journey behind British produce.

Kayleigh Collett, of Westlands Farm Shop, which also has a shop in Winchester, said: “Lambing season is a huge responsibility, and opening the farm for Lambing Days allows us to share that reality with our community.”

“We believe it’s important that people understand the work, care and decision-making behind British farming.

“By welcoming visitors onto the farm, we’re helping to connect families with agriculture in a way that’s honest, informative and rooted in real life.”

A spokesperson added: “Events like Lambing Days play an important role in educating the public about the realities of British farming, highlighting the care, expertise and year-round commitment required.”
