Other Things To Note
- We can accept card and cash when paying for your pumpkin, however, other activities, on-site events and vendors may require cash. Please be aware, the nearest cash machine is a couple of miles away in Laurencekirk.
- The pumpkin patch is outdoors so wrap up warm - wellies are strongly advised! (We will have pumpkins laid out under cover for picking as well if you don't fancy or are unable to venture on to the patch).
- The pumpkin patch is on a grass area which, depending on the weather and ground conditions, can be tricky to navigate if you are in a wheelchair, have mobility issues or have prams or buggies. Please get in touch if you have any questions about access or if you may need assistance.
- It can get darker towards 4pm in October so please bear that in mind if attending later in the afternoon.
Refunds
No refunds will be made. If you are unable to attend the event after purchasing a ticket for a session you will be able to transfer your ticket to another session via your original booking confirmation email.
- If you are unable to attend the event at all after purchasing a ticket, please contact us.
- In the event that we have to cancel a day/session due to a red weather warning, we'll contact you to offer another date or a refund if you are unable to attend on another day.
