Tips & Advice
- Consider booking the 'Ghouls' Breakfast' add-on for a full day of Halloween fun, combining the Big Play Barn with the farm and Spooktacular event.
- Arrive via the A4091 for easier access, as other routes can be more challenging, especially for larger vehicles.
- If your children are timid about the spooky trail, they can visit the separate, gentle pumpkin picking area without going through the trail.
- Book tickets in advance, especially for busy periods, as they may turn away walk-in visitors if capacity is reached.
- Allow ample time for your visit; at least 2 hours for the farm and event, or 4 hours if including the Big Play Barn.
