  • Do you have any quiet hours?
    Yes, we have dedicated ‘Quiet Times’ at the patch on Monday 21st October 2024 and Wednesday 23rd October 2024 from 9am-11am – we will not fire the Pumpkin Cannon between these hours and music will be played on a low volume only.
  • Do you serve alcohol at the event?
    Yes, you can enjoy alcoholic beverages on each day of the event, apart from Wednesday of the half term. We will not be serving alcohol in our bar that day, soft drinks will still be available.
  • Is the site accessible?
    We have invested in a great deal of hardstanding ground on our main areas of the event field which has made it easier for prams and wheelchairs to get around. The pumpkin patch itself is in the field, so may be muddy however we have a fully stocked outlet so you aren’t forced to pick your own, the other high traffic muddy area may be the maize maze. There has been some stone added to the event site in 2024 that may be difficult for some levels of wheelchair/scooter to manoeuvre however you are welcome to come and have a look at the ground for yourselves before buying tickets if you so wish - just contact us on events@bells.group and we will arrange a recce visit.
