A baa-rilliant weekend full of sheep themed fun!
Join us for a baa-rilliant bank holiday weekend packed with sheep themed fun for all ages.
Across the weekend you can dive into the mischief of The Great Sheep Escape, cheer on the speedy stars of The Lamb National (here for this weekend only!), watch our expert shearer at work during our shearing demos, meet the flock up close at feeding time, and get hands on with woolly creativity in our Craft Corner. The Kent Guild of Spinners, Dyers and Weavers will be with us all three days, sharing their incredible skills and beautiful creations. And our very own Dolly Baa-ton will be with us on Bank Holiday Monday, bringing a day of country fun. Dust off your cowgirl boots and join her for shear-oke and boot-scootin line dancing!

We aim to ensure that as many animal-related activities as possible take place each day. However, as we work with live animals, situations can be unpredictable, and not all animals may be available at all times or every day.
