Tips & Advice

  • 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.
