One year on from its grand reopening with new premises, visitors can see the population explosion at a popular Maidstone school farm.

The New Line Learning Academy’s Young Farmers’ Club holds its annual lambing weekend on Saturday, April 8 and Sunday, April 9.

Make a day of it for the whole family, as there will be stalls, a barbecue and refreshments, as well as the chance to see all the new arrivals.

It will be open from 11am and 4pm both days. Entry costs £2 and £1 for children.

Dogs are not allowed and pregnant women are advised not to attend.

You can get to be right in the action at Wye this weekend.

Lambing Live! will be at The Willows at Wye Community Farm on Saturday, April 8, between 10am and 1pm.

Visitors will be able to see newborn lambs and calves, as well as sheep racing, games and refreshments.

All proceeds from the day will go to WCF’s educational work. Entrance is £5, with under-16s free. No dogs are allowed.

See new life arrive at Kent Life

They’re steady on their feet now but the cuteness register will still be off the scale.
Recent woolly arrivals will be on show at farming attractions around the county.

At Kent Life in Sandling, Maidstone, this year there is no lambing event but on a visit you can meet the lambs, along with other animals including pigs and donkeys.

You can also see fluffy chicks and learn how to identify fertilised eggs in the hatchery. For details go to kentlife.org.uk
