We’re off to meet the Woollies, the Wonderful Woollies of Brockholes!
Meet us at the “Baaaaa” where the welcome brews are on us (or squash, little ones!) and whack on your wellies (even in summer these beautiful little grotters can generate a fair bit of mud!) then, armed with fresh treats - join us in a wander to meet our happy herdys out in the fields (or barn, weather dependent).
Naturally shy, our herdys live and mix with the rest of our sheep on a day to day basis but are more confident meeting their new human friends in a smaller group where they will get our total and undivided attention. We will chat about their care, their various personalities, the breed abd how a well known author is credited with bringing these smilers back from extinction! They also generally can’t resist a handful of their favourite sheep food!
We’ll also visit our 2 friendly hand reared boys, “Dave” and “Dave the second”(yes, really) aswell as Dipsy, our little premature hand reared herdy gal!
We’ll also pass by some of our other resident farm friends on the way (and give them some treats of course!), including our Special Attention Field where anyone who may need a little extra special care lives.
Once you have overdosed on the incredible cuteness you are then free to explore the farm, take a walk along the river, get all nostalgic on our fairy tale trail, get to grips with nature on our habitat trail or say hi to the rest of the farm residents again.
Meeting the sheep is generally an outdoor event and we encourage you to come prepared for Cumbrian weather!
Available Saturday, Sunday, Wednesday and Friday from 1st April throughout 2025.
