What our visitors think

Wonderful afternoon out, kids loved it and so did we great choice of pumpkins.
Everyone is so friendly. Can wait to go back for sunflowers next year. Definitely wear wellies though!

Such a fun day out with the kids! So much for them to do and see. My kids loved the corn maze and all of the things you could climb on. There was a huge selection of pumpkins in all different shapes, sizes, and colours. The pumpkin beet was also delicious!
