North Shropshire College (NSC) is planning for the annual Spring Lambing Day Event which takes place at the Walford Campus in Oswestry on March 25.

Running from 10:30am until 4:30pm, with tickets costing just £10 per car/family on foot, the college has a large flock of ewes to lamb over the weeks leading up to the day, with the first few arrivals this week.

On the farm, visitors will be able to watch the futuristic robotic milking machine in action, along with the farm animals being fed. This year there will also be a lamb cuddle corner and a pony club equine display.

The event will also see the grand unveiling of NSC’s new Milk Vending Machine by a VIP guest at 11.30am.

The fun doesn’t stop there, on the adjacent side of the campus there will be a range of exciting activities taking place ensuring everyone can join in. There will be live music in the walled garden, face painting, a climbing wall and the Walford Zoo will be open where the alpacas, meerkats, reptiles and marmoset monkeys are all housed. Refreshments will be available to purchase, however visitors are welcome to bring a picnic if desired.

Lucy Evans, marketing and customer service manager at NSC, said: "The day offers a wonderful and affordable experience with a wide range of activities to take part in suitable for all the family.

"Visitors can expect to see lots of lambs and every year there are new lambs arriving for those lucky to be in the right place at the right time. We can’t wait to build on the previous years’ success and are looking forward to another fun filled Spring Lambing Day.”
