Youngsters invited to lend a hand with lambing

 

There's a chance to let your children witness spring bursting out all over at an Island farm this half-term.

Ballig Farm in Jurby East is throwing open its gates for the public to watch - and perhaps help with - spring lambing.

Visitors will be offered a close-up experience inside the lambing sheds, helping ewes and their offspring in the pens.
