Welcome to the Spring Farming Adventure!
This much-loved event returns in March and runs throughout the Easter Holidays.
With adorable cade lamb feeding, classic Easter egg hunts, fun crafting activities and some additional special surprises this year, it will be an unforgettable hands-on springtime day out for the whole family!
Back by popular demand is our cade lamb experience, this year delivered by our trusted & expert animal welfare team from Watermeadow Park.
Up to 100 lambs will be housed in our dedicated Lamb Barn, where visitors can meet, bottle feed and spend time with these adorable little lambs.
For safety reasons, pregnant women, newborns, and children under six months are not permitted inside the barn. More information as to the risks can be found here.
... and back again this year is the popular GIANT, Mini & Dog Friendly Easter Egg Hunt trails!
Catering for all across different areas of the site with plenty of fun and things to see on your travels - of course with a delicious Easter goodie or vegan alternative once you've finished the trail and completed all activities!
Plus, don't forget to stop by the Craft Barn with your passport to meet the Easter Bunny on your travels - and enjoy some fun spring crafts!

We have two car parks at the Chester House Estate:
1. Claudius Way is our main visitor car park and can be accessed by the Prologis Park, Wellingborough.
Please use postcode NN8 2DH to find this entrance.
2. Lime Avenue, the second A45 Entrance offers accessible parking for Blue Badge Holders. Please use postcode NN29 7EZ to find this entrance.
If you are attending a public event, and do not need accessible parking, you will be turned away and directed to the main visitor car park at Claudius Way due to capacity.
The time that you select for your Activity Passport tickets is the time that you enter the Lamb Barn.
This means that all other activities can be completed around this and planned to best suit your day.
For example, a morning slot would allow you to feed the lambs when you arrive and enjoy the other activities afterwards. If you book an afternoon slot, we advise that you arrive earlier in the day to make the most of all activities first before going to see the lambs at the end.
The site is open from 10am - 4pm so you can plan your day and all activities around your ticket time to enter the Lamb Barn.
All visitors are advised to watch our health and safety video above before their visit. This will also be emailed to all attendees as a reminder prior to the event, along with our health & safety briefing for the Lamb Barn.
Please also take time to read the health & safety information on the relevant booking page before finalising your purchase.
You can also access a copy of our full event risk assessment here.
