Hadsham Farm: 23rd March – 14th April
Lambing worth travelling for. It’s in Banbury and a solid 45 minutes from Oxford but I cannot recommend this enough. We went to this last year (see our visit here) and it was just brilliant from the lamb cuddling to getting up close to chicks, pigs and goats. There’s a play area and a really imaginative sensory walk. I went after loads of our community messaged me about it saying how good it was and I’ll be returning again this year too. A top pick!
🗓23rd March – 14th April⏰Two sessions: 9.30am – 12.30pm / 1.30pm – 4.30pm💴 £6 per ticket, Under 2: Free 🎫 Pre-booking required ℹ️ Book here

There is so much going on at Bishop’s Court Farm and we’ve previously enjoyed alpaca walking here – brilliantly random!

If you want a more personal experience, you can book in for one of their private lambing experiences (over 16s only – £40). Check out our previous visit here.
