About Spilmans

Who doesn’t love a day out in the fresh country air? Well, head over to Spilmans (May - October), a pick your own farm with a play barn for little adventurers to explore and let off steam. 

It’s often said that food tastes better if you’ve picked it yourself, so why not let your little ones be the judge and put that theory to the test - with delicious seasonal fruit and veg, including strawberries and raspberries. Plus in October, pick your own Pumpkin for Halloween! You can then take it over to the barn, where there’s some great carving kits and loads of other spooky fun for you to enjoy.

The play barn also offers a great place for your little country kids, with activities and loads of exciting things to discover. Spilmans will make sure the whole family has an amazing day out and will keep the kids amused and happy until the cows come home!
