Health & Safety in our lambing shed

Your health and safety is one of our top priorities. Lower House Farm has made efforts to minimise risks and our procedures are outlined below to keep you safe. Please read this thoroughly before purchasing your tickets.

All visitors attend at their own risk and must agree to this prior to visiting. By purchasing this ticket you accept responsibility for you and other people booked under these tickets to ensure your own safety and will adhere to the health and safety measures outlined below.

All animals naturally carry a range of bugs, some of which can be passed on to humans, where they may cause ill health. Included among these bugs is E coli 0157, and Cryptosporidium, which can cause severe illness. In order to keep you safe, we have taken a number of steps:

Trained animal care staff. Their instruction must be followed.
Disinfection measures upon entry and exit must be adhered to.
Hand Wash Stations must be used. Hand Gels are not an effective substitute against many diseases.
Children who are prone to finger sucking should not participate due to high risk.
We recommend this activity for children aged 3 and up though younger children can participate with close supervision and assistance

If you or anyone in your party are or may be pregnant, we advise against contact with Sheep/Lambs, as well as Goats/Kids.

While we have taken every reasonable precaution for your health and safety, there are still risks involved in all forms of animal contact. By proceeding with your booking you are agreeing that you understand and accept these risks.

Health & Safety Policy

Your health is our top priority, and we have put special measures in place to keep all visitors safe.

Here are some bits of information we'd like you to know:

Before arriving at the Farm

Bring wellies and waterproofs for maximum fun!
If you or anyone in your group feel unwell, please do not visit.

When you visit the lambing shed

HAVE FUN! We want you to enjoy your visit!
Ensure you stick to the designated public areas for your own safety and the safety of our animals.
Follow any instructions given to you by Lower House Farm staff.
Take care when handling the lambs - they are live animals and are fragile.
Wash your hands thoroughly. There are Toilets and Hand Wash Stations, please use these when you exit the lambing shed. Hand Gels are not an effective substitute against a number of diseases.
PREGNANT WOMEN: We advise anyone who is or may be pregnant to avoid contact with Sheep/Goat and Lambs/Kids. And to exercise caution around animals for your health and safety.

When leaving the farm

Wash your hands thoroughly before you go
