Half term days out: February Frolics at Willows Farm Village

(26/01/2012)

Willows Farm Village (Hertfordshire) is gearing up for the first event in its jam-packed 2012 calendar – February Frolics.

Taking place between 11th – 19th February, this event will see new born lambs being born each day during the half term. Visitors can learn about the lambing process from resident expert Tuck the Shepherd, take part in Bo Peep’s Lost Sheep Hunt, and watch mind-boggling farming-inspired experiments courtesy of ‘Mad Science’, plus enjoy acres of indoor and outdoor play.

New for 2012 is the Lamb Cam – a webcam based in the Lambing Marquee that allows visitors to track the progress of the lambs they see being born during their visit by logging on from home.

Willows Farm Village, one of Hertfordshire’s leading family attractions, has lambs being born in their Lambing Marquee every day during its February Frolics event. New for 2012 is the Willows ‘Lamb Cam’ in the lambing marquee, allowing visitors to log on from home and see how the new born lambs are progressing after their visit.

As well as enjoying the cute lambs, children can also learn all about them from Tuck the Shepherd who will be on hand to help with the lambing.

While Willows newborn lambs are safe in the Lambing Marquee, Bo Peep has lost her sheep and needs the help of the children who visit Willows during February Frolics to help her find them - with a prize for every child who takes part in the fun Bo Peeps Lost Sheep hunt.

The Mad Science scientists return due to popular demand with four shows a day and a host of wacky experiments recreating all the fun of the farm, from crisp morning mist to fluffy fleeces!

There is also a full day’s programme of activities, including, Farmyard Favourites, Tristan the Runaway Tractor, Meet the Falconer and Fun Fair Rides. Indoors Captain Chicken’s Egg Dodge and Woolly Jumpers play barn provide plenty of fun whatever the weather, with Willows Magical Ice Rink also under cover and open for the last chance before the spring to skate on the synthetic ice rink.
