Join us in Spring 2027 for a lambing experience with a difference
Our lambing/kidding experience is a more personal and intimate experience compared to larger commercial farms. Your group or family will have exclusive time with the pregnant ewes, lambs, pregnant goats, and kids in the barn and poly tunnel. There will be no other groups in these areas at the same time, giving you plenty of time to cuddle the lambs and kids, take photos, and enjoy a peaceful, one-on-one experience with the animals. It's the perfect way to connect with our farm’s newest arrivals in a relaxed setting!
Sessions are 60 minutes long, and this year, we are also offering a Spring baby animal visit that lasts 90 minutes and lamb bottle feeding experiences. The timing of the visits ensures that you’ll have exclusive access to the barn without sharing it with other groups, though you may see other visitors around the farm at the same time. This gives you a great opportunity to enjoy quality time with the animals

Our lambing and kidding visits are suitable for children aged 3 and over, as well as adults, although younger children are also welcome to attend.
As our baby animals are very delicate, we ask that adults hold the lambs and kids when younger children are involved, allowing children to gently stroke and interact with the animals while they are safely supported on an adult’s lap.
For the safety of both expectant mothers and unborn babies, we are unable to accommodate pregnant visitors during lambing season. This is to ensure the wellbeing of all our guests and animals during this special but busy time on the farm.
We know that bottle-feeding a lamb can be a fun and unforgettable experience. However, we always prioritise keeping our lambs with their mothers, as this gives them the very best start in life.
To offer bottle-feeding experiences, we sometimes work with local commercial farmers to care for their cade (bottle-fed) lambs. At present, we won’t know until next spring whether these visits will be available. If they do go ahead, you will be able to book a bottle-feeding experience through this page.
During your visit, you'll have the chance to see our pregnant ewes, those who have recently given birth, as well as our lambs, Boer and Pygmy goat nannies, and their kids. We have a variety of sheep breeds, including Dutch Spotted, Jacob, Suffolk, Llyen, Shetland, Zwarble, Romney, Valais, Southdown, and Herdwick lambs. We anticipate lambing will begin around the 28th February and continue through to mid April.
Sorry, this isn't possible as these are exclusive group visits. Other guests will be booked in after your session
You may see a couple on your walk from the barn to polytunnels but you will not be able to see all of the animals. We do offer other experiences through the year which include meeting and feeding all our animals.

This experience is suited to children aged 3 years to adults.
Our land is on hills, and some areas can get muddy in wet weather, so unfortunately, we are not able to accommodate wheelchairs or pushchairs in our fields. However, for this visit, it is a little more accessible. The barn area, lambing polytunnel, and track to the polytunnel are passable. Please email us once you’ve booked, so we can make sure we adapt the access into the barn and polytunnel for wheelchairs on the day of your visit.

We had such a lovely experience during our visit, feeding the lamb and holding the baby goats. Zenan was a great tour guide.

This has been on my bucket list for a very long time but I didn't want to do it in a crowded environment with lots of people who may scare the animals. Frampton Farm was exceptional we had a private visit of 4 adults it was educational and a lot of fun interacting with the baby lambs and goats and all the other animals that are looked after on the farm. We were lucky enough to feed the lambs and the whole experience was so memorable. We have a grandson who is 2 and we hope to return with him next year when is a little bit older and understands more. Thank you to Karen and the team for an amazing experience we highly recommend this experience.

An outstanding visit. The owners have really taken a corner of the market in an excellent fashion. I’ve taken most of my Grandchildren round and each experience has been different, but just as enjoyable!! An excellent attraction!
