WOOLLY contestants took part in a race with a difference at a popular farm.

Barleylands staged its latest Lamb Grand National, an event that never fails to pull in the crowds.

The little lambs get a colourful makeover with their wool dyed in dashing shades of pink, green, yellow and blue as they "race" around the track.

They were cheered on by the crowds to whoops of delight.

Characters from the Chicken Run film also enjoyed in. Chickens Rocky, Hot Wings, Nugget and Drumsticks, ran the course, delighting the audience with their antics.

They were joined by the farm’s very own trio of donkeys, who also raced against each other.

The event takes place at the farm at noon and 3pm every day. Visit barleylands.co.uk
