February half-term activities for all the family across Lincolnshire

February half-term means a week of no school and kids at home, but thankfully there are a range of activities in Lincolnshire to keep your young ones entertained over the holidays.

Whether it is arts and crafts, exploring history or visiting adorable animals, Lincolnshire is again going above and beyond with its programme of events over the half-term period.

Activities are available for all the family across all four corners of the county, from silent discos on beaches to staggering light displays inside Lincoln Cathedral.

Here are ten events to be aware of this February half-term in Lincolnshire:

Rand Farm Park

February half-term is one of the busiest time periods in the Rand Farm Park calendar, as it coincides with lambing season for the various ewes kept at the site.

We have already seen the remarkable story of one ewe and her lamb triplets of two different breeds, and with around 100 lamb births at Rand Farm Park each year, the staff will be kept very busy in the coming weeks.

The park invites you to witness this lambing period live, as well as even bottle feeding some of the cade lambs yourself! Book family admission via the Rand Farm Park website, with opportunities to take part in the lambing season throughout half-term.
