Think London, and you don't necessarily think new born lambs frolicking around grassy pastures.

Yet every spring, Forty Hall in Enfield hosts a Lambing Weekend, in which you're invited to get up close to the farm's newest springtime additions (among the rare breeds of sheep here are Lincoln Longhall, Boreray, Jacob, Manx Loaghtan and Norfolk Horns) and learn about the lambing process.

Sheep aren't the only animals on the farm: you'll also get to watch falconry displays; say hello to pigs, cows and goats; and taste honey made by on-site bees.

Other happenings on the Saturday and Sunday include vintage fairground rides and Morris dancing — plus a range of refreshment from the likes of Punjabi Shack, Limeface and Pizzagig — as well as cold pints from New River Brewery, and organic wine courtesy of Forty Hall's own vineyard. Living in London has its pastoral moments.

Lambing Weekend at Forty Hall, Enfield, 28-29 March 2026.
