What do I need to bring?

Your ticket confirmation on your phone or a printed copy. Wear wellies or shoes suitable for a field. We have cut all the pumpkin for you.

What should I wear?

It often rains in October so do check the weather forecast and wear waterproof clothes and welly boots. Even in good weather trainers/shoes can get muddy as it is all outside in a field.

The ground is bumpy so please take care. Do bring something to keep your car clean when you put the pumpkins in and wipes for your hands if they get muddy.

Do check social media for an update before setting off.

Is it wheelchair / pushchair accessible?

The ground is uneven, bumpy and could be muddy as this is a field. Contact us if you have any queries and we will try and help.

Are dogs permitted?

For hygiene reasons only assistance dogs are allowed.

What facilities do you have?

Toilets and baby changing facilities are available at our farms along with contactless card machines and car parking. We also have a café stall at our farms along with an ice cream van if the weather is suitable!

Do you have First Aiders on site?

Yes, we have qualified First Aiders at our farms. Please let a member of staff know if you need help.

How do I carry my pumpkins?

You can use one of our colourful wheelbarrows, though do be careful with your children when using them. You might want to bring some bags if you don’t want to get your car muddy.

How long do pumpkins last for?

You can store pumpkin and squash for months before eating them if they are dry, cool, frost free and undamaged. However once carved, to keep your pumpkin looking good for longer, bring it inside or put undercover if it is raining and rub petroleum jelly or vaseline on the cut edges.

What happens to the leftover pumpkins?

The Gleaning Network and various animal sanctuaries come to collect any that are going to waste.
