We are very excited for our Spooktacular event 2026. Every year this gets bigger and better with a range of activities suitable for different ages of children … a family event for all!

Booking is now open here. Advance booking is not strictly necessary but reserves your entry time for the farm in case popular slots sell out.

Our Spooktacular has lots included. Why pay to just “pick a pumpkin” when you can have a great day out at the farm and big play barn, AND visit our spooky trail AND take a pumpkin home, all for just few pounds more than a farm visit?

Our “Spooktacular” includes entry to our special event barn as well as the chance to pick a pumpkin and carve it while at the farm. Plus all the farm activities you love … pony sit-on, tractor ride, chat to a chick and brush a bunny.

Our event barn is themed as a winding, creepy trail to reach the friendly wizard, who has snakes and lizards to meet. It’s a little “spooky” but there’s no big scares! There is a separate “pick a pumpkin” area (so you don’t need to pass through the trail if your kids are a bit timid about that sort of thing).

Two great summer fun offers for families this holiday … The Summer Club for repeat visits throughout the summer, and The All Dayer, a great priced ticket for

Discounted Summer Prices

We are pleased to be discounting our entry prices and child meal prices this Summer, supported by the government VAT reduction. We have passed most of this reduction to our visitors with reduced price children’s tickets for play barn entry, farm entry, and our popular combi entry (farm + play barn).

Adult prices are also reduced for farm and combi tickets.

You’ll find these tickets on a dedicated booking calendar for the period of the VAT reduction, 25th June to 1st September inclusive. Booking is NOW OPEN click here for farm and combi and click here for just play at the play barn

Taking this further, we have boosted the discount with TWO additional offers … a SUMMER CLUB membership for all of July and August, and a FARM AND PLAY BARN ALL-DAYER ticket (currently available for the first two weeks of the holiday).

Summer Club £33 per Child £27 per Adult

The summer club is a full membership running from the 25th June to 1st September for the equivalent cost of just 2 combi entries. Visit as many times as you wish after joining! A great “Staycation” option to make the most of the long break and the weeks running up to it. A special feature is that Adult members are un-named so this can be handed to Nan or Grandad (or anyone else) to come with your child if they are helping with child-care this summer. How good is that? For the member portal, click here for more information and joining details.

Farm and Play Barn All-Dayer £13.50 per person. Cheaper entry and longer play

For those not planning to come frequently, look out for limited numbers of this supercharged combi ticket at an AMAZING price during selected weeks of the summer holidays. Unlimited time on the farm and the play barn (play sessions are usually limited one 2-hour entry). Come and go from the play barn and the farm as much as you like for the whole day. Play barn opens at 9, closing 6.30, farm at 9.30, closing at 5pm. Picnic in the farm’s play and cafe zone, or enjoy a meal from one of the cafes. These tickets are available as the first item on each day of the booking calendar for the first fortnight of the summer holidays and may be extended if it’s popular … click here to check the calendar and look for All Dayer tickets at the top.

The farm will be welcoming back the magical unicorns and their fairy handlers this half term, Tuesday to Friday. No extra charge, so normal admission applies.
We are running a build a bear (and unicorn) workshop too, but this is an optional extra for those that would like to make their own souvenir of their special day out.

We Hope to see you soon! For booking click here
