Lambing Sunday at Bishop Burton College
Tue 3rd March 2015
Treat your family this mother’s day to a wonderful spring day out at Bishop Burton College’s Diamond Jubilee Lambing Sunday.
On Sunday 15 March, the campus will once again be opening its doors to visitors, in order to give the public the opportunity to see the College’s ewes and their new-born lambs up close.
Lambing Sunday has become one of the most enjoyable family events in the College’s calendar; with visitors having the chance to watch lambs being born, taking their first few steps and bonding with their mothers, as well as learning about lambing from the team on the Bishop Burton College working farm.
As well as the ewes and lambs, there will also be a number of other activities for the whole family to enjoy, including a show jumping competition, dressage to music, a display of tractors and farm machinery and tours of the indoor and outdoor animal management units - where visitors will get the chance to meet some of the College’s more exotic residents including snakes, reptiles, meerkats and wallabies.
Children will have the opportunity to win some fantastic prizes in the Lambing Sunday colouring competitions and treasure hunt.
And, if all that fresh air helps you work up an appetite, food outlets will be open across campus, offering a range of lunch and snack options all day.
Alternatively, celebrate mother’s day by treating your family to a delicious 2-course lunch (including wine, petit fours and coffee), available for just £16 for adults - and even less for mums and grandmas (discounted at £13.99) - and £9 for children.
