Lackham Country Park welcomed visitors to its first Wiltshire Woolly Day on Bank Holiday Monday.

The day explored all sorts of aspects of sheep-rearing and the history of the wool trade.

Visitors of all ages took the opportunity to spin and weave wool, under the expert guidance of members of the Wiltshire Guild of Spinners, Weavers and Dyers.

Children were entertained with a variety of hands-on activities, including themed quizzes, animal handling and rag rug making.

They also visited Lackham's rare breed sheep and enjoyed an opportunity to pet some friendly lambs.

Hurdle maker John White attended the event and gave a live demonstration of constructing hurdles from ash wood collected locally.

Visitors to the Woolly Day enjoyed woodland walks and wandered around Lacock's picturesque gardens.

Lackham's animal centre was also open, with a range of unusual breeds, including meercats, owls and squirrel monkeys on show.

An archaeological dig also proved to be an attraction, at a site suspected to be the setting for the old Lackham House, built in Tudor times.

A spokesman for Wiltshire College Lackham said they hoped to make the Woolly Day a bi-annual event.
