Tips & Advice
- Book your tickets in advance, especially for twilight sessions, as they are popular and may sell out. Arrive within your booked time slot to guarantee entry.
- Wear sturdy, waterproof footwear like wellies, as the farm fields can be uneven and muddy, even with hard-standing parking areas.
- For the Twilight Picking experience, consider bringing a flashlight for navigating the fields and a small bag for your purchases.
- Take advantage of the numerous photo opportunities throughout the event, but be mindful of other visitors when posing.
- Check the weather forecast and dress in layers. While there are food vendors, bringing a reusable water bottle is always a good idea.
