Lambing season at Cotswold Farm Park

Lambs, rare breeds and the rhythms of the countryside, with a family-run farm at its heart.

the day

A day spent close to the animals.

Cotswold Farm Park makes a family day out feel connected to the countryside around it. Meet rare breeds, see the farm at work and, in spring, get close to the lambs during one of the busiest times of the farming year. Between the animals, nature trails and adventure playground, there is plenty to keep the day moving.

The farm

Rare breeds and real farming heritage.

This is a working farm first, with generations of farming knowledge behind the experience. Rare breeds sit alongside the everyday rhythms of the farm, while its approach to sustainable farming gives children a chance to understand where food and livestock come from.

The lambs

Spring, when the fields are full of new arrivals.

Lambing season brings the farm to life, with young lambs in the fields and the chance to see them up close. The exact dates change each year, so check ahead if lambing is the reason for the visit. Spring also means soft ground, so wellies are worth bringing.

The afternoon

More to explore once the animals have had enough of you.

The adventure playground and nature trails give the afternoon a different pace, with tractor rides and open countryside adding to the day. It means there is enough here to stay for several hours, rather than making the visit entirely about the animal encounters.
