Spring is such a lovely time of the year, with the long winter nights going, new buds on the trees and best of all, the lambing season. It’s a great experience for kids to visit a farm and delight at meeting these adorable lambs. There are lots of places around Oxfordshire and Berkshire to meet newborn lambs and at some places you can even bottle feed them.
Here are a selection of the best lambing days around Oxfordshire and Berkshire and we’ll keep adding more. Some of the farms have lambing everyday and others are just special weekend events. Many places also have other activities going on so you can make it a full fun family day out with the kids.
If you’re looking to go further afield, we also have a guide for Buckinghamshire and Surrey.

Roves Farm is one of my favourite places to take my kids to see the lambs. The lambing season got underway again this year in January and again in April. It’s one of my favourite times of year! The picture at the top was from one of our previous visits.
Spend some time on the viewing walkway looking out over the lambing shed as the day’s action unfolds. You may be lucky enough to see a lamb or three being born! The January lambing at Rove’s Farm is the Poll Dorset’s, when visitors can go in with the ewes and lambs which is extra special.
