Easter Holiday Fun at Rutland Farm Park

This bank holiday weekend, there's lots going on at Rutland Farm Park, from feeding the little new-born lambs, pony pampering sessions, animal meet and greet and plenty more!

On Easter Monday, the Farm Park is holding a special family-fun day out, with attendees in Easter outfits receiving a free bag of animal feed.

There will be the opportunity to get involved in Easter crafts, a scavenger hunt and getting up close with the farm's animals.

There is also the opportunity to help bottle feed the new-born lambs. As this is a very popular spring activity, and to keep it safe and fun for the lambs too, this has to be pre-booked.
