FROM bottle-feeding new lambs to watching shire horses at work, all the joys of country life in spring await visitors to a Victorian-style working dairy farm.
As the long winter months draw to a close, Old Hall Farm at Bouth, near Ulverston, is getting ready to reopen for the season on Good Friday, March 25.
Visitors will be able to enjoy special Easter activities for all the family and take part in seasonal activities such as egg hunts and decorating, making Easter gardens and seeing the new chicks, ducklings and baby piglets.
Old Hall Farm is home to a variety of animals including miniature ponies, Ernie the donkey, chickens, ducks, Gloucester Old Spot pigs and lambs.
The farm also has its own herd of Jersey cows, and home-made ice creams are served at Charlotte's Ice Cream Parlour and the Chicken Shed Tea Room.
With the arrival of spring, the Lakeland farm's majestic pair of 1900 steam ploughing engines will be out in the fields, having first worked together back in the autumn.
Shire horses will be out in all their tack and decorated brasses for visitors to admire, and there will be traditional braiding demonstrations with ribbons in their manes and tails.
