Spring Festival

Seasonal farmyard fun for the whole family

Join us down on our Oxfordshire farm as we celebrate the joys of spring, with newborn lambs frolicking in the fields and a whole farmyard of fun activities to explore!

Meet the farm animals and learn about their role in healthy, nature-filled farmland. Take a bumpy ride on the tractor trailer, have a go at welly-wanging, or climb the giant hay bales.

‘Bee’ amazed by the Oxfordshire Beekeepers’ Association as they showcase the vital work of pollinators on the farm, with hive demonstrations, beeswax candle-making and honey-tasting activities.

There’s crafts, activities and face-painting to enjoy, a wonderful Makers Market showcasing a host of local, sustainable produce, plus Dark Horse Roastery, Five Little Pigs and Ben’s Burgers serving delicious food and drink.

Whatever the weather, this is one event not to be missed!

Festival weekend one highlights: Have a ‘hoot’ with the Owl Conservation Project – learn about these fabulous farmland hunters and join in an owl pellet dissection. Meet the Larkmead Vets team and have a go at helping a ewe deliver a lamb (with their simulator!).

Festival weekend two highlights: Watch skilled shearer, Sid Vincent, as he demonstrates sheep shearing in the barn, and visit the Owl Conservation Project’s stand to see some of their beautiful rescue owls up close.
