Tips & Advice
- Book your car slot in advance, especially for weekend visits, as capacity is limited and entry is via timed slots.
- Consider visiting during the ASN (Additional Support Needs) sessions on October 18th and 24th for a more relaxed experience with fewer visitors.
- While pumpkins range from £3 to £10, factor in the £11.50 per car entry fee when budgeting for your visit.
- Dress warmly and in layers, as the event is outdoors and involves activities like toasting marshmallows by a firepit.
- Check the opening hours for the garden centre and coffee shop, as they may differ from the pumpkin patch closing times.
