Can I bottlefeed a lamb at Folly Farm? Yes you can!
Enhance your day out at Folly Farm with our lamb feeding experience – a one-off experience that includes a cuddly toy and a personalised certificate! If you purchase day entry with your lamb feeding experience you can save £s on our standard admission prices with our special £15 discounted experience day ticket.
What happens on a lamb feeding experience?
It’s an exclusive opportunity to get up close to our little lambs, make up their bottles of milk and bottle feed them. You’ll be accompanied by a Jolly Farmer, and you’ll be standing inside our central farm animal pen in our Jolly Barn.
You’ll be welcomed by one of our Jolly Farmers and after a short briefing you’ll enter the pen. Our Jolly Farmers will provide you with bottles of pre-prepared milk and you’ll then give our lambs their feed! Get ready to welcome some bouncy, hungry lambs and prepare yourselves for what may be a messy feed – spilt milk and, because these babies aren’t potty trained, maybe even a bit of wee and sheep poo!
This is also your chance to ask our expert animal care staff all about our flock. What milk do we feed them? How long is a lamb a lamb?
Your experience will last at least 20 minutes. It includes a souvenir cuddly toy lamb and a certificate signed by your Jolly Farmer to take home so you can remember your special day.
Important: Pregnant women, or anyone who thinks they could be pregnant, should not take part in the experience or be the supervising adult.

Such an amazing experience! I think the young girl running the feeding was called Sarah, she was absolutely fab! So informative, super helpful, made sure everyone (especially the smaller kids) were comfortable with the lambs, she was just really lovely. The lambs were adorable and so well trained. Was a really lovely, wholesome experience and I would definitely do it again! Thanks for a great time!

Our 5 year old had an amazing experience feeding the lambs! She enjoyed making up the milk and got to feed many lambs as she was the only child booked for that session, Sarah was brilliant with her and she definitely added to our experience, with her knowledge and kindness. And the certificate and cuddly toy is a nice touch.

I booked the lamb feeding for my 5 year old daughter Sienna. The lady who was doing the lamb feeding was absolutely amazing, very knowledgeable and friendly, and made my daughter feel at ease. She explained everything perfectly, and didn’t rush anything. She deserves so much praise for how fantastic she made the experience. Would highly recommend booking!

We came on Monday for a lamb feeding experience. It was amazing, the lady who helped us was outstanding. She was friendly, knowledgeable and professional. It was my daughter’s birthday and she made it a great one. The experience itself was wonderful and Eva is still raving about it 3 days later. She has named her gift lamb after one of your real lambs. Great experience.

The lamb experience was amazing my four year old had an amazing time as well as me and my partner. Kim who was looking after us at the time doing the experience was so lovely kind and polite. Talked us through the whole thing and made us all feel very comfortable, she was a pleasure. And you could see she loved her job and was great with the animals. My boy even named his lamb teddy after her.

What a wonderful experience! Our annual pass was coming to an end and when I saw this experience I just couldn’t resist. Folly Farm has always had a special place in our hearts, from my own childhood with fond memories of feeding the lambs in the barn, to enjoying everything Folly Farm now has to offer with my own children, adding the lamb experience to our day made it extra special. Thank you.

Feeding the lambs is an experience I will never forget. The handler was knowledgable and so patient answering our questions. We fed two lambs and a goat, which made our day. Even as adults this experience was way beyond what we were expecting. Outstanding!

A great addition to the experience offerings at Folly Farm. Kim the farmer was brilliant, explained everything and allowed us to mix the formula ready for the lambs and then introduced them one by one to us. Kim then took some pictures for us and allowed us some snuggles and chin rubs with Softie. Thank you Folly Farm and Kim too, a great memory at a very reasonable price too.

A brilliant, hands on, farming experience. Perfect opportunity for little hands to get up close to the young lambs and learn all about their needs. The farm staff were patient and knowledgeable and showed my daughter with care and precision how best to feed the lambs meaning that she enjoyed the experience to the fullest. A brilliant experiance highly recommended!

We had a fantastic time. We loved the exclusivity of the event, we had plenty of time feeding several lambs. My boys really enjoyed that they were allowed to help with the preparation of the milk. The member of staff was very friendly and patient. The fluffy toys at the end were a lovely surprise. Can’t wait to come back and try a different experience.
