By the start of Autumn our barley has been harvested and the straw baled up and stored for winter bedding. The orange pumpkins are growing fast and will be ready for picking before Halloween. Each year we have over 2,000 pumpkins of all sizes for sale.

In Winter more animals come inside the barn, including a flock of 25 Dorset sheep which should start lambing around mid-December.

The Farm comes alive again as we approach Christmas. By the last weekend of November we have over 600 Christmas trees for sale of all varieties and there is a free gift with each tree. Holly balls and wreaths are also available.

Our ever popular Santa is here again this year, every day from December 1st. Initially he will be here from 11am to 4:30pm although as we get towards Christmas these times extend to 9:45am - 5:30pm!

The cost of visiting Santa is no charge (charge for 2008 to be entered) per child in addition to the farm entry prices. This includes a trip to Santa's workshop in the Christmas trailer and a gift.

You cannot book in advance to see Santa.** However when you arrive and pay to go on the farm you will be allocated a time slot to see Santa and then you can enjoy the farm and all of the facilities while waiting for your slot to come up, so no queuing.

** If you have a group of 10 or more children pre-booking is sometimes possible on some days.

The Stables Gift Shop is packed with exciting Christmas gifts with stocking fillers our speciality. There are Noah's Arks, Dolls houses, Rocking Horses and a great range of toboggans for snowy days ahead.

In addition we stock many different shapes sizes and makes of trampolines, Climbing frames and swings for Christmas delivery. There are sometimes special deals on trampolines during November.
