Event:Lambing at Llwyn-yr-eos Farm

St Fagans National Museum of History

Celebrate the start of spring with our annual baby boom in the lambing shed. 

 Lambing at Llwyn yr Eos farm will be open to the public every day. We won't be streaming live from the lambing shed this year, however, visit the Lambcam webpage to catch up on highlights from previous years.

If you’re planning a trip to the farm to meet our mums and babies, please read the following advisory notes to help you get the most from your visit.

  • Contact with sheep during lambing time can pose a health risk to pregnant women. If you are pregnant, or suspect you might be, please read the following NHS guidelines before coming to meet our sheep.
  • All of the sheep in the sheds at this time of year are either heavily pregnant or very protective new mums. We operate a ‘no touch’ policy for our ewes and lambs to protect their welfare. Please be quiet and gentle around the animals.
  • All healthy lambs will be happily fed by their mothers. Any additional bottle feeding needed for vulnerable lambs will be carried out as required by the farm team and will not be offered as a public activity.
  • Dogs at lambing time - To protect the welfare of our sheep, no dogs are allowed in the farmyard during lambing season. You are welcome to explore the rest of the grounds with your dog on a short lead.
