Oaklands College has a spring in its step as it prepares for Lambing Weekend

Oaklands College is gearing up to host its legendary Lambing Weekend at its St Albans Campus next month from 10-11 May.

Visitors will have the chance to meet newborn lambs

A family-friendly event celebrating the joy of spring, visitors will have the chance to meet newborn lambs, visit the on-site mini zoo, explore the baby zone, bounce around at the inflatable fun park, take a spin on the tractor rides, enjoy some creative face painting and delicious street food and browse unique local stalls.

There will also be the opportunity to explore Cecil’s Horse Sanctuary, build a lamb in a craft session and enjoy some live music and performances by students.
