We will do our very best to remain open during all weather conditions. As the patch is in an open field, we strongly recommend wearing suitable, sturdy footwear, and that you prepare for the autumnal weather with appropriate waterproof coats and warm clothing.

Wheelchairs are welcome, however the pumpkin patch is in an open field which means depending on the weather, the ground may be difficult to navigate. The area around our patch is wheat stubble, and the pumpkins have been growing in uneven, bare soil. If there has been recent rain we would suggest that the ground would not be not suitable for a standard wheelchair, however an off-road chair may be able to cope.
