Quick Actions
Tips & Advice

- Consider visiting on a weekday or off-peak date for a potentially less crowded experience and free entry for children aged 3-15.
- Dress appropriately for the weather and wear sensible footwear, as the farm is an outdoor location and can be muddy.
- Bring a sturdy carrier or bag to transport your chosen pumpkins home, especially if you plan to select multiple.
- Check the event's social media pages or website news section for any last-minute updates or closure information due to severe weather.
