Lambing at Idle Valley

Come and meet our lovely lambs at Idle!

We meet at the Idle Valley Visitor Centre, a guide will take you over to the lambing sheds to see the new born lambs. Warning - it can be graphic as lambing can be taking place live.

Please let the person leading your group over know if you do not want to be included in photos or video for publicity use.

IMPORTANT: Please do not attend this event if you are pregnant. Sheep and other animals giving birth can present a potential infection risk to pregnant women.

There are no dogs allowed in the bars as it will frighten the pregnant sheep and can cause them to miscarry.
