Can I turn up and pay at the gate?

You can turn up on the day to pick a pumpkin, visit the shop and Tipi café and have a run around the play area. However the Spooky Pumpkin Hunt is a ticketed attraction, most days result in being fully booked. If you turn up without a ticket we can check availability, but it is not always possible to allow entry. We strongly advise you book in advance so you don’t miss out on the spooktacular fun!

Is it suitable for wheelchairs?

Wheelchair users are very welcome however we are a working farm so it can get muddy and uneven in the fields. The Tipi and main courtyard area is generally manageable with a wheelchair but please be aware that it may be more difficult in inclement weather.

Tickets are non-refundable but if you would like to have the option to later change your booking date or time, when purchasing your tickets please create an account on the billing details page. This will allow you to login to your account and amend your booking date and time up to 5 days prior to your original booking. Note; this is not a subscription to marketing, and tickets are non-refundable after purchase.

Can I get a refund if it’s raining or I can no longer make it?

We are really sorry but we are unable to offer refunds if you are no longer able to visit. We do our very best to offer exchanges if we are able (see ‘Can I change my online booking?’ above).

We are open in all weathers unless we’ve been instructed by our insurers to close because it would be a danger to the public to remain open. In this instance we will fully refund tickets.
