About Humble Bee Farm
The award-winning location near Flixton is a working farm offering glamping, camping and holiday cottages.
Public sessions must be pre-booked and have a confirmation ticket, which can be done online.
Julia Warters, co-owner of Humble Bee Farm, said: “Lambing is one of our busiest times of year here at Humble Bee.
“Visitors can count how many lambs there are, feed and meet a lamb, take a photo in our photo booth, say hello to the sheepdogs, Alfie and Madge, follow our Sheep Trail around the farm, meet the farmyard gang including Tilly our Shetland pony, our alpacas, donkeys and guinea pigs.
“We are very much looking forward to welcoming visitors to our farm for this rare opportunity to learn about a key time in the farming year.”
Humble Bee Farm is located between Filey and Scarborough and hosts just 2 public events a year, the other being their popular Pumpkin Patch during the October half term.
