Woodlands Farm‘s Easter holiday activities for children include a craft day, a guided farm tour and an Easter trail. Hannah, the Education Officer, sent me the details:

Thursday 2nd April 10am-2pm Egg-cellent Easter Trail
Drop in for our annual Easter trail with a twist. We all know that chickens lay eggs but what other animals in the world also lay eggs? Find all the hidden animals and you will get your own chocolate egg to take home. £2 per child. No need to book, just drop in anytime between 10am and 2pm.

While down on the farm, take the opportunity to visit the refurbished dipping pond which was opened by the Mayors of Greenwich and Bexley last Friday. Work on the pond was funded by a grant from HSBC and volunteers from the bank helped to clear the old pond which was very overgrown. Most of the rest of the refurbishment was done by the farm’s regular volunteers. The Bexley Wildlife web site has more about the official opening including photographs of the event.
You may also be able to see Rufus, the farm’s visiting boar, provided he hasn’t succeeded in his task of getting the two sows pregnant, and the first lamb of the season which was born yesterday. There will be many more lambs before Lambing Day at the farm on Sunday 12 April 2015.
