Many of our visitors know us for our incredible reptiles, mammals and exotic animals, but Johnsons of Old Hurst has deep agricultural roots, too. Lambing Live is a chance to see first-hand what life is like on a busy farm and learn more about the important work that goes into raising healthy, happy livestock.

You'll get to observe the ewes in the lambing barn, see new-born lambs take their first steps and discover the everyday tasks that keep a working farm running smoothly.
