News from North Hayne Farm
Last updated 28th April 2008
Welcome to our news page. We are keen to make our site useful/informative and easy to use; thank you to all of you that have given feedback so far; it's been very positive. If you feel the site could be improved then just email your ideas to us.
Mother and Baby Magazine Recommendation
We were delighted to be featured in the December 2007 edition of Mother and Baby magazine following a recommendation made to the magazine by its readers. Listed as one of the best places to holiday in the UK with young families we have been overwhelmed by the positive response to the article. Babies and young children are especially welcome here so it is lovely to have this recognised. Thank you.
New Arrivals
April was a very exciting time for us here at the farm. Not only did Bambi gave birth to her first lamb but Ruby gave birth to two very health lambs as did Rosie. All three mothers are proving to be excellent at keeping their little ones safe and well fed. Those of you who stayed at the farm last Easter may well remember bottle feeding Bambi who was a tiny orphaned lamb. With just a little TLC she turned out to be a great sheep and mother.
Bambi; a proud mother and baby
Easter Activities at North Hayne Farm
Each year at North Hayne Farm we like to make the Easter period special for both the children and adult chocoholics alike. For the little ones we set aside our games room for some Easter biscuit decorating on Good Friday and an Easter egg hunt on the Sunday.
Just to make sure all of our little guests that come to us over the long Easter break get to enjoy the Easter fun, we are having Easter arts crafts and cookery sessions every Friday until the 18th of April. See the photo galery for more pictures.

On Easter Sunday we made sure the garden was generously littered with eggs (filled with chocolate of course) for the children to try and find.

Finally, we held a `guess the weight of the egg' competition, the lucky person with the nearest guess gets to take the egg home (to share with their family !!) and enjoy.
The lucky winner. Well done Millie |
