Woolly eggs spotted at Holmbush

You’ve seen the woolly sheep, you’ve seen the woolly pigs but now it is time to get back down to Holmbush Farm World and seek out the woolly eggs!

Yes, as Easter approaches and eggs of all shapes, sizes and flavours battle for attention, visitors to Holmbush Farm World are doing a double-take as they explore the animal barns and spot woolly eggs in amongst the chickens. We've been turning heads with its woolly attractions ever since Winston and Clementine, a rare breed of Mangalitza pigs arrived on the farm last year; and throughout April our woolly lambs are the stars of the show during lambing. This year however an added wonder has appeared – the woolly eggs. Kids visiting the farm are being challenged to hunt the eggs as they explore the farm and to try and discover exactly what these eggstraordinary things are!

Farmer Harry Calvert said: “The school Easter holidays are always an exciting time on the farm with spring beginning to show itself and lots of baby animals making their appearance. We have a range of special events going on throughout the holidays and our woolly eggs are sure to grab everyone’s attention!”
