Description
We’d love to welcome your Cubs group to The Farm Shed for a private lamb feeding visit for 12 children.
The visit will last around 1 - 1.5 hours and gives the children the chance to enjoy a fun, hands-on farm experience with our bottle-fed lambs, while also learning a little more about life on a working Yorkshire farm.
