Tips & Advice
- Arrive early on event days, especially weekends, to maximize your time enjoying all the spooky activities and avoid potential queues.
- Check the specific dates for activities as some, like the haunted Sheep Race and Mini Monster Maze, are only available between October 25th and November 2nd, with additional dates on October 18th and 19th.
- Be aware that pumpkins and the Barrel Ride have a small additional charge of £1.50 each, so budget accordingly.
- If traveling from Lanchester, look for the large 'Hall Hill Farm' sign at the end of the drive to ensure you turn into the correct entrance, as a neighboring farm shares a similar postcode.
- Consider purchasing tickets in advance once they go on sale in early Autumn, as this is a ticket-only event and popular dates may sell out.
