Spend the afternoon surrounded by adorable newborn lambs this spring.

The annual lambing weekend returns to Hadlow College, near Tonbridge, for two days this April, giving visitors a chance to cosy up with cute baby animals and learn more about the farming industry.

The weekend draws around 10,000 visitors to Kent’s only agricultural college each year, making it one of the school’s largest events.

Visitors will be able to see the lambs frolicking in the fields and lambing sheds and take part in a host of family activities.

There will be land-based attractions, such as tractor trailer rides, a birds of prey display, the sheep show and reptile demonstrations.

The weekend also boasts food and drink vendors, arts and crafts stalls, archery, funfair rides, competition and more.

The lambing weekend takes place at Hadlow College on Saturday, April 26 and Sunday, April 27 from 11am to 4pm. Adult tickets cost £14, child tickets cost £10. You can book online here.
