Lambing Event: Sunday 22nd March
Join us at Snooks End lambing barns and meet the newest additions to the Box Moor Trust flock. Due to high demand, entry is limited and we are running two sessions per day. Secure your tickets in advance – no entry without a ticket. Sessions will take place from 10am-12pm, and 12.45-2.45pm. We ask for a £5 voluntary donation for adults and £2.50 for children.
Main parking is at Westbrook Hay School and you must reserve a free car park ticket when booking your entry tickets. We’ll have free shuttle minibuses running throughout the day from both car parks. However, as space is limited, we encourage those who can to enjoy a scenic walk via the nature trail from Westbrook Hay School car park to the lambing barns. Blue badge holders will be given priority on the minibuses. Wheelchair users must contact us before booking so we can arrange alternative parking.
