Cuteness is coming to Willows Activity Farm this February half-term with the Hertfordshire attraction's annual lambing event.
Billed as the ‘Cutest Event of the Year’, the farm’s ‘February Frolics’ is perfectly timed for the half-term holiday.
Guests will be able to see new lambs born over the course of the nine-day break, between February 17 and February 25.
Lyssa Elster, chief executive at Willows Activity Farm, said: “More than 40 pregnant ewes are ready to give birth to twins and triplets this February half term as everyone on the farm gears up for lambing season.
Ewes are typically pregnant for between 142 and 152 days, so our livestock team has carefully timed it to make sure as many as possible are ready to give birth during the February half-term period.”
Visitors to the 500-acre leisure attraction, near St Albans, will be able to see lamb bottle-feeding demonstrations, learn all about lambs from the livestock team, while some lucky guests will also be able to see newborn lambs being born.

Lyssa added: “We are expecting 35 sets of twins and 15 sets of triplets to be born this February.
"Once they’ve given birth the ewes and their new lambs will be transferred to our lamb nursery where visitors can see them taking their first steps in the big wide world.”
Children can also look forward to meeting Bo Peep, who will be looking for her sheep everyday at Willows.
She will be starring in regular shows in the Peter Rabbit Theatre throughout the day.
Lyssa added: “As well as an un-bleat-able jam-packed programme of fleecy fun this half term, we also have all the usual Willows farm activities for visitors to look forward to including the PETER RABBIT™ Adventure Playground, Peter Rabbit shows throughout the day, The Farmyard animals, funfair rides and Tristan the Runaway Tractor.”
Willows Activity Farm is set in the Hertfordshire countryside, situated 200 metres off Junction 22 of the M25 at London Colney.
