BLACKLION Farm

Our most popular experience is Baaa & Bubbles, a hands-on session where guests help wash and groom our Valais Blacknose sheep. Depending on the season, visitors may also have the opportunity to bottle feed young lambs, walk the sheep around the farm, watch sheep clipping demonstrations and meet our friendly donkeys. It's a wonderful opportunity to learn more about these remarkable animals while enjoying plenty of photo opportunities along the way.

Throughout the year we also run a variety of seasonal experiences and events, so there's always something new to discover. From lambing season and family activities during the school holidays to special countryside events and bespoke experiences, every visit reflects the changing rhythms of life on the farm.

One of the things that makes BLACKLION so special is its peaceful setting. Surrounded by beautiful Cotswold countryside, visitors are encouraged to slow down, relax and enjoy spending time outdoors. Bring a picnic blanket and settle into our green space after your experience, or simply enjoy watching the sheep grazing while the children explore. It's a refreshing alternative to busy attractions and theme parks, offering families the chance to reconnect with nature and spend quality time together.

Our welcoming café serves freshly brewed coffee, speciality teas, hot chocolate, pastries and ice cream, making it the perfect place to refuel during your visit. We also have a licensed bar serving soft drinks and refreshments for adults, so whether you're joining us for an hour or spending most of the day here, you'll find everything you need to relax.

BLACKLION is dog friendly too, so well-behaved dogs on leads are welcome to accompany you during your visit.

Looking for something extra special? We also offer bespoke experiences for families, birthday celebrations, schools, tour groups, corporate events and private occasions. Whether you'd like exclusive access to the farm, a tailor-made animal experience or something completely unique, our team will work with you to create a memorable visit.

As a real working sheep farm, every day at BLACKLION is a little different. The activities you experience may vary depending on the time of year and what's happening on the farm, making each visit unique. It's this authenticity that our guests love most. You're not visiting a manufactured attraction; you're stepping into the everyday life of a family-run farm where animal welfare, education and creating unforgettable memories are at the heart of everything we do.

Whether you're visiting with young children, grandparents, friends or simply looking for a unique day out in the Cotswolds, BLACKLION offers something truly different. Come and meet our famous flock, enjoy hands-on experiences, breathe in the fresh countryside air and discover why so many visitors leave with smiles, muddy boots and wonderful memories.
