Yesterday we took our annual trip to Sharnfold farm for some Halloween fun and it did not dissapoint. This year we took part in the Halloween trail which gets better with every visit with more to see and more effort put in every year, the only downside this year was the PYO field was closed due to the weather.
We arrived the the farm about 11.45 and went into collect our wrist bands, we had prebooked but the tickets cost £5.95 for children over 4 and £4.95 for adults. There is a prize at the end of the trail to collect from the main office.
On arrival we could see some Halloween decorations already which certainly gets the kids excited, you firstly enter a play park which seems to grow every years, there is a tractor for the children to climb over, a sandpit, some ride on toys, a traditional slide and swing and there is also a wild part with bits to learn about wild life and more.
Once you enter the main part you are greeted by your first animals, this year it was some adorable piglets. The Halloween trail consists of finding clues around there woodland walk, these involved counting the ghosts and finding some cauldron signs with letters in to create a magic spell. There are more animals to say hello to including sheep, goats, ducks, chickens and llamas along the way too.
As the weather had been very wet before our visit there were many puddles for the kids to have fun in, I think they found every single one and were soaked through by the end but they had a blast. through the walk there are facts about the animals that you see and even we learnt a few things by the end.
There was three trails you can track depending on how you are feeling, we took the long one which takes you though the whole trail and past the fishing lake too. Through a part of the trail there are some lovely wooden play houses which the children can explore and they have decorated the trees with skeletons and cobwebs and Halloween hats too.
All in all it is a great day out, and keeps the kids out of mischief for a while. Its lovely to go back every year and see how things have changed including how much the girls have grown. Just remember to take you wellies if you go.
So much fun. Piglets and jumping in puddles for starters. I'm curious to know what the prize was that you collected at the end.
ReplyDeleteI should have elaborated. It was a little Halloween toy rattle thing. My daughter loves it x
DeleteI love days out like these! It looks like so much fun - I love when places like this do themed events such as for Halloween!
ReplyDeleteThank you, we do too as they make memories for the kids that will hopefully last forever.
DeleteOh wow, this looks like so much fun. I'm hoping to go to a Halloween/Pumpkin trail too this year with the kids as we've never been to one before!
ReplyDeleteIts a really nice place and I think reasonably priced too. I hope you manage to and enjoy you day if you do.
