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.

Hi! I have a ‘portfolio’ lifestyle, jumping between mum, journalist, curator of my own museum, chauffeur, French tutor and carer. I love music, dance, theatre and dancing in the evenings, and helping others to enjoy life. I’ve been through the mill healthwise, along with my family, and am grateful for every day.
