A CELEBRATION OF SPRING: LAMBING WEEKEND AT HADLOW COLLEGE
As spring breathes new life into the countryside, Hadlow College is preparing to welcome visitors once again for one of the South East’ s most popular seasonal events- Lambing Weekend, taking place on Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 April 2026.
Set within the beautiful surroundings of Kent’ s only rural and land-based college, Lambing Weekend offers a rare opportunity to experience a working college farm at its busiest and most heartwarming time of year. Visitors can see newborn lambs taking their first steps, visit the lambing sheds and learn more about the care, dedication and expertise involved in modern farming.
While the lambs are the stars of the show, there is plenty more to explore across the campus. From meeting a wide range of animals cared for by students and staff to discovering the National Centre for Reptile Welfare- home to rescued reptiles and amphibians- the weekend promises something for everyone. Talks, demonstrations and interactive experiences provide fascinating insights into land-based education and the diverse careers it supports.
Lambing Weekend is also an opportunity to explore Hadlow College’ s outstanding facilities and speak with staff and students about courses across agriculture, animal management, horticulture and countryside studies, making it an ideal visit for prospective students and families alike.
Tickets are priced at £ 32 for a family ticket( two adults and up to three children), £ 14 for adults( aged 17 +), and £ 10 for children and concessions( including over 65s, carers and students with valid ID). Children under two can attend for free.
