It was a cute couple of hours. The pricing was a bit high for sunflower picking and strawberries were coming to the end and had been vigorously picked over, but given the insane hot summer we'd had it was still a good amount. Farm shop was actually really nice. Great range of products. Toilets werent the best. Parking was plenty. Points for it being dog friendly which was great. Was definitely a bigger commercial endeavour vs some of the smaller real farm field PYO and next to a busy main road.
Was a good day out. Farm shop and cafe were nice, we had breakfast and the food seemed rushed. Hard poached eggs on toast, with a bit of shell. so not great. Farm park itself its good for kids. I think charging £10 for each adult can get expensive quickly, especially if visiting with grandparents. Not sure how much there would be to do on non-event days, most of the things we loved were on because of the summer blowout event (balloons, foam party, bubbles). Whole site is card only.
we had a great day ...there were unicorns, foam party and loads for the kiddies to do ...I would highly recommend a day here 😁
