Lambs, Bunnies and Farms
Welcome the new arrivals and try bottle feeding the lambs at Piglets Adventure Farm in Spring this year. The younger ones will love the indoor and outdoor play areas at the farm too!
Filey Bird & Animal Park is the best place to visit some real Easter bunnies as well as a handful of other animals including parrots, alpacas and ponies. The park is open daily throughout the Easter holidays.
Humble Bee Farm
Humble Bee Farm’s lambing experiences are back every Sunday and some Wednesdays throughout March and over the Easter period. Book a 90-minute session for just £8.95 a person and enjoy feeding and handling the newborn lambs. Visit the maternity and nursey wards on the farm too, and stay hello to the resident sheep dogs.
Local Events
Looking for something a little more grown-up? Try one of the food and drink festivals visiting the coast over the Easter holidays, perfect for springtime nibbles, local beers and artisan desserts. Filey Food Festival is in town on the 19th & 20th April, while Scarborough’s brand new Food & Drinks Festival is taking place at the Open Air Theatre on the 12th & 13th April.
