FAMILIES are invited to a Mothering Sunday celebration with a difference at Bishop Burton College’s Lambing Sunday.

The event, which will take place at the Beverley college between 11am and 3pm, will give visitors the chance to see newborn lambs and their mothers up close, as well as the possibility of seeing live lambings.

The college currently has 720 ewes, all of which are due to lamb in a three-week window.

The college will also be hosting a show jumping competition and horse petting, a display of farm machinery, pig unit tours and tours of the indoor and outdoor animal management units where visitors will get the chance to meet the meerkats, lemurs and wallabies.

Adults cost £5, children £3 and a family of two adults and two children £15.
