Crockford Bridge Farm, near Guildford, off the A3. Easy peasy.
The quirkiest farmyard I’VE ever seen! A great outing for the kids and an opportunity to pick up a few pumpkins, I say a few, but the CHOICE. 8 varieties possibly, smooth and knobbly, great and small, speckled and just reassuringly orange. With helpful cooking tips to make the most of each type.
It all had a wonderful ageing-hippy vibe, with a pimped Vee-Dub Beetle, pastel-painted everything, weather-beaten shacks offering refreshments and ice-creams, and circus shows in the ‘Avant Garden’. Totally geared to kids’ needs, you can do pumpkin-cutting workshops, face-painting, and line up for a Halloween costume competition with prizes.
It’s a PYO farm too, with lots of choice in the spring and summer.
