We are pleased to announce a return for our ever popular Halloween trail, and new for 2021 we are also offering Pumpkin Picking! The two activities can be combined on the same day, but please be aware the main road bisects the two sites.
The Trail
The trail opens from 22nd October until 31st October.
The pandemic has given us lots of opportunities to look at how we do things, so there will be a few changes.
The trail is ticketed. Tickets must be purchased in advance for specific time slots. In 2019 we reached capacity more than once and customer experience was diminished – timed tickets will eliminate this, plus keep numbers on the farm at sensible levels.
The trail is suitable for children of all ages, but most enjoyed by those between 3 and 15, our trail takes you around the farm to discover various challenges, tasks and puzzles. It’s a great way to spend a few hours, out in the fresh air over the half term – and there’s even a small treat at the end!
We have thousands of home grown pumpkins for sale too at the shop. (for our separate PYO Pumpkin event see below)
Hot drinks and light refreshments will be available from the Potting Shed Cafe, with seating in our marquee.
Time : Halloween Farm Trail from 9am – 4pm (last entry) – Shop open from 9am – 5pm
Sorry, no dogs permitted on the trail or the pumpkin fields.
NB: All children must be accompanied by an adult. Sturdy footwear is recommended – We won’t close for bad weather, but be prepared for mud! Pushchairs that can cope with grass are normally fine in all but the wettest conditions, but there will be areas you cannot enter.
For those of you who are nervous: there may be some dark areas, but we are not out to scare you!

Pumpkin Picking
After the success of last year’s PYO pumpkin experience, we are running a separate ticketed option to enter our PYO fields and pick a pumpkin. There is a charge to enter, (also ticketed , timed entry) but the cost will be redeemable in pumpkins – in contrast with some other farms! Wheelbarrows are available for hire, and you can get a few photo with our giant pumpkin!
Our Pumpkin Field is located to the East of the A46 Shurdington Road, on THE OPOSITE SIDE OF THE ROAD FROM THE FARM SHOP. Parking is available there – Please watch for signs on approach.
Pumpkin picking will be subject to availability (which is looking good this year!) Just be aware if booking early for a later date, we aim to run out on the 31st, so don’t leave picking too late!
The pumpkins are where they grew – that means straggly vines, soil, and some weeds too. Come prepared – vines can have prickles, and there may be a few small nettles in patches – so gloves are highly recommended!
Sorry, no dogs permitted on the trail or the pumpkin fields.

The Farm shop
Farm shop and pumpkin sales (not PYO pumpkins) open as normal (no admission fee!)
Shopping? Regardless how busy the car park gets, the shop remains relatively quiet… if you are just shopping, don’t be deterred – we keep some easily accessible parking spaces available for you!
Bespoke Order Sheet

Jane continues to run or Click and Collect. She is happy to pick an order for all who find her services useful… even if you just need a particular pie or cake putting by, or a cut of meat we may not always stock, please feel free to email in. All the details can be found on the order sheet below.
Our online ordering system (click to view) continues to work well too… however one area it can’t cope well with is weighed produce, so those that want specific amounts of certain items may prefer to order from our bespoke order sheet. Instructions are included on the sheet, but ask for what you want and we will endeavour to pick your order within 2 days (generally next day during our order picking days).
Our opening days for collection are Wednesday to Saturday 9am-5pm (inclusive). If you do not have a preference of the day of collection we will process and fulfil your order as soon as we can. Otherwise, please specify your preferred date of collection and we can tailor to your needs (as long as it is within our new click and collect opening hours)

Our order book for meats is now closed, but we are still able to take orders for fruit and veg plus daily essentials until the 17th December.
As with most things our Christmas ordering system will be a little different this year; we have increased the range of vegetables available to order too. We are accepting orders via email, and through our established click and collect service (invoices will be emailed directly to you and payment can be made online). All the information is on the order sheet, so click on the links below to download the form as a Pdf or a word document, whichever you prefer. It’s a long form, so if you only need a couple of things, we have created a simple order form for you to add your requirements to. How you get it back to us is up to you – email, drop it in, phone it through – or even post it!
