Pumpkin Nights
An exciting experience for kids explore the Hatters Farm Pumpkin Patch at night! Enjoy all the same activities as in the daytime but with an extra spooky twist as you'll be guided by moonlight.
Hatters Farm Maize Maze
But the pumpkin patch is just the beginning of the fun at Hatters Farm. Families can enjoy a wide range of activities and entertainment throughout their visit. Take a break from pumpkin picking and test your skills in the thrilling maize maze. Get lost in the twists and turns as you search for hidden treasures within the towering walls of corn.
And when hunger strikes, take a break at one of the food trucks serving up delicious hot food. Treat yourself to mouthwatering treats, from gourmet burgers to piping hot fries. Sip on hot drinks like hot chocolate to warm up on cool autumn days. Hatters Farm ensures you won't go hungry during your visit.
Pumpkin Cannon
Not to be missed is the incredible pumpkin cannon, a spectacle that will leave you amazed. Watch as pumpkins are launched high into the sky, reaching towering heights. It's an astonishing display of power and a unique experience that you won't find at any other pumpkin patch. There's freakishly fun face painting for the kids too!
Photo opportunities and Face Painting
