Two fantastic family-fun weekends will be held at the Wiltshire College and University Centre’s Lackham campus, near Chippenham, in late March, with separate events taking place on Saturday 16th March, Sunday 17th March, Saturday 23rd March and Sunday 24th March. All events run from 10am-4pm, with last entry at 2.30pm.
The events have proved hugely popular in the past and approximately 8,000 people attended across the four dates last year.
Attendees will get to see new-born lambs, watch the dairy herd being milked – with all milk being supplied to a famous chocolate manufacturer – and visit the calves, cows, pigs and donkeys at the campus farm.
Other activities taking place include a mini farmers’ market, a variety of food and beverage stalls, visits to the site’s robotic dairy, tractor and trailer rides, birds of prey displays and a range of children’s activities.
It is advised to book early. Tickets must be booked in advance here and there will be no tickets available to purchase on the gate. Tickets are valid for the day of purchase only.
Tickets are priced at £13.50 for adults (over 16), £9 for children (3 and over), or £40 for a car (maximum number of people will be the number legally allowed to travel in that car). Children under the age of 2 can enter for free.
