Easter at Becketts Farm

We are pleased to announce that our Easter event will be returning this year.

Regrettably, due to government restrictions currently in place, there will be no chicks or birds at this year’s event.

Easter is a special time of year here at Becketts Farm. Join us for a fun-filled event where you can meet our playful goats and their kids, calves, ewes, newly born lambs and more!

Open daily: 12th to 27th April 

Opening times: 9.30am – 3.30pm each day 

Entry Price: £3 per person – adults and children (under 1’s free)

Adults £3, Children £3, Under 1’s Free 

There is no need to book, just turn up for a great activity to keep you busy in the school holidays! NOTE: At peak times and if we reach maximum capacity in the event space, there may be a short waiting time.

There will be some craft activities that children can take part in every day including colouring in and a sunflower planting activity.

Our Farm Shop and Restaurant will be open daily throughout the event, with the Restaurant serving their delicious children’s menu and a range of tempting takeaway options at our Sandwich Bar and Hot Food counters. If you are planning on visiting our Restaurant during the Easter event, we would advise booking your table in advance to avoid disappointment. You can book a table online here.

Advice for pregnant women

Women who are pregnant are potentially at risk of acquiring certain infectious diseases from pregnant livestock including sheep. Pregnant women who come into close contact with sheep during lambing may risk their own health and that of their unborn child, from infections which can occur in some ewes. These include chlamydiosis (enzootic abortion of ewes – EAE), toxoplasmosis and listeriosis, which are common causes of abortion in ewes, and Q fever. Although these infections are uncommon and the number of human pregnancies affected by contact with sheep is extremely small, it is important that pregnant women are aware of the potential risks.

We will not be having any pregnant ewes at the event, but there may still be some risk from the lambs. Every effort is made to ensure high standards of cleanliness and hygiene in the animal farm at all times. For any pregnant women thinking about visiting the Becketts Farm Easter event we would ask that you do so at your own discretion.
