Quick Actions
Tips & Advice
- Book your tickets in advance, especially for the Half Term Pumpkin Festival, as they have sold out quickly in previous years.
- Wear appropriate footwear, such as wellington boots, as the farm fields can be muddy, especially during autumn.
- Check the farm's website for crop availability before visiting for 'Pick Your Own' sessions, as this can vary.
- Factor in restroom needs before arriving, as toilets are only available during ticketed events or when the bar is open.
- Consider bringing a baby carrier instead of a buggy for field access, as buggies are not allowed in the picking fields.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a booking for the Pick Your Own?
Yes, a booking is essential during peak times (June-August, October & December) to guarantee entry and manage crop availability.
Can I eat fruit in the picking fields?
No, nothing should be eaten before it has been weighed and paid for, as this is considered theft and is unacceptable.
Are dogs allowed on the farm?
Dogs are not permitted in the growing fields except for registered service dogs. They are welcome in communal areas, but not during the Pumpkin Festival.
What if it rains?
Dress appropriately for the weather, including wellington boots for muddy conditions. The farm does not provide shelter in the fields.
Can I bring a picnic?
No, picnics are not permitted on the farm due to litter issues. Portable BBQs are also prohibited due to fire risk.
