Question 9

Are you open if it is raining?

Accepted Answer

YES! Just be sure to bring your wellies, raincoat and umbrellas! Also, keep in mind that the crafts marquee is under cover and there is a second seated marquee for eating in under cover.

Question 10

Is the ground suitable for pushchairs/wheelchairs?

Accepted Answer

The pumpkin patch is within a farm setting so ground conditions will depend heavily on the weather. If there has been abundant rainfall then conditions will be muddy and potentially slippery. If the weather is dry then ground conditions may still be bumpy. While those using wheelchairs and buggies are wholeheartedly welcomed at the patch, we would ask that users be aware that conditions on the day are wholly dependent upon the weather.

What facilities/toilets do you have on-site?

Accepted Answer

We have toilets and hand washing facilities on site.

How much is under cover and how much is open air?

Accepted Answer

Most of the pumpkin patch is outside in the open air. We have two marquees, one is the craft marquee which houses the craft stalls, balloons and pumpkin carving, the other marquee has seating for refreshments. Particularly designed with the October weather in mind, (which can be a little unpredictable).

Do you sell hot food there?

Accepted Answer

Yes, there are hot foods and drinks, Hog Roast, Pizzeria, vegan/veggie options and more!

Question 14

What footwear is suitable?

Accepted Answer

Wellies really are the best option, particularly if the weather has been wet in previous weeks. Remember that the pumpkin patch is a farm setting.

Question 15

How long do the pumpkins last?

Accepted Answer

As long as they are not bruised in any way, pumpkins will keep for two months or more if they are stored in a cool dry place, for example a garage or outside shed. so if you’re planning to visit on our opening day  then they should still be good for 31st October…

None of the gourds are poisonous, they are all part of the pumpkin/squash family. Some are not recommended to be eaten as they are purely for decorative use and would taste nasty.
