Woolly Week at The Rare Breeds Centre

About

Mark your calendars and join us for our sheeptastic Woolly Week from Monday 27th to Friday 31st May.

Calling all sheep fans! If you enjoyed visiting our lambs at Easter, you won't want to miss Woolly Week! It's our special, sheep-themed week with lots of extra sheepy events happening on the farm for no additional cost.

Want to learn about the art of sheep shearing? Then make sure to pop into the cattle barn between 11:30 am and 2:30 pm. A member of our farm team will be demonstrating this important skill, talking through the process and answering your questions.

If you're ready to take on the task of being a fashion show judge, with an adorable farmyard twist, don't miss our sheep fashion show. Make your way to the main paddock by 1:30 pm to see our four-legged fashionistas showing off their new fashion outfits designed by our Life Skill Students. Pick your favourite to help decide the winner!*

You can also enjoy making some cute woolly crafts to take home if you head over to the Discovery Zone between 12 and 1 pm. We provide all of the materials needed for your one-of-a-kind creation. Finally, our "Find the Flock!" trail activity will be running all day. Pick up your trail sheet from the gift shop to spot all our sheep breeds around the farm for a sweet treat at the end!

Storytelling Wednesdays will also be running with sheep stories, but at the modified times of 11 am and 2 pm.

*No sheep will be harmed in the sheep fashion show, and the farmers will ensure all sheep are very comfortable in their outfits.
