NEW LIFE At this time of the year, one of the first things that springs to mind is new life. So where better than a trip to the farm or zoo to see all the cute new arrivals taking their first steps.
GODSTONE FARM With over 40 years of experience and over 500 animals Godstone Farm is a great place to enjoy some family fun this Easter. This year there will be a funny bunny quiz trail and kids will get to meet the Easter bunny in his burrow. Plus, the farm’s Make and Take zone lets the little ones get creative, with crafting of Easter egg suncatchers and the chance to plant your own five a day. From April 4-19. Godstonefarm. co.uk. For a behind the scenes look at the farm, turn to page 48.
BOCKETTS FARM Enjoy a great family day out at Bocketts Farm this spring, as the lambing season gets into full swing. With over 500 newborn lambs due and ‘Meet the Shepherd’ sessions daily, there will be plenty of opportunity to learn about these cute animals and perhaps even watch one being born. Children will love to get up close to baby chicks, ducklings and bunnies in the Small Animal Village, as well as goat milking, tractor rides, pony rides and pig racing. Plus, complete the Easter stamp trail to take home a chocolate treat, and enjoy fun live shows in the Easter garden. From April 4-19. Bockettsfarm.co.uk
