David Finkle, manager of Barleylands, said: "On Easter Sunday and Monday there will be two heavy horses on the farm and we will be getting one of our steam engines fired up.
"The other activities will be running all week and will be a good chance for children to roll up their sleeves and get stuck in. We will also have our very own Lambing Live so visitors may be able to see lambs being born if they are lucky."
The Farm Park is open from 10am every day and costs £9 for children, £10 for adults and children under two years of age are free. Cookery sessions need to be booked online at www.barleylands.co.uk.
