Spring Lambing Day 2016 North Shropshire College (NSC) will be holding its increasingly popular Spring Laming Day on Sunday 20th March 2016 11am until 4pm. Last year's event was the biggest ever, with over 4000 visitors touring NSC's Walford Campus. The 2016 event promises to be even bigger, with new attractions and returning guests. The stars of the show will be the lambs, some of whom may be born on the day! Many of the popular attractions from last year will be making a welcome return in 2016, those returning are: Whitchurch Dog Display Team, Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service, Archery, NSC's Robot Milking Display, Face Painting, Treasure Hunt etc. The extremely popular Animal Care Department at the Harris Centre, welcomed visitors last year who crowded around the Meerkat enclosure, and met the College's wide array of reptiles, insects and spiders in the exotics room and even saw the College's many Birds of Prey. The entrance fee on the day will be £10 per car/family on foot, there will be free parking at the Walford Campus or at Corbet School with a park and tractor/trailer ride to the event.
