Autumn at Flavour First

Overview

Autumn at Flavour First Farm
7th September - Mid October 2026 Experience Our Local Seasons Open Thursday to Sunday (weather permitting)
10.00am - 2pm *Closed Sunday 20th September for a charity event*
As summer gently fades into autumn, the farm begins its most beautiful transformation. The flower fields are still bursting with colour, the pumpkin patch is ready for harvesting, and crisp autumn air brings with it one of our favourite times of the year. Autumn at Flavour First Farm is a celebration of the harvest season.
This isn't a commercial Halloween attraction. Instead, we've created a relaxed countryside experience that celebrates everything we love about autumn. Expect muddy boots, hands in the soil, pumpkins growing naturally in the field, flowers still dancing in the breeze and families making memories together on a real working farm.
Take your time choosing the perfect pumpkin, gather a beautiful bouquet of late-season flowers, see our Highland cows grazing peacefully nearby and enjoy a slower pace of life as the countryside begins to change around you. (No contact with the cows)
Wander through the Maize Maze, discover our enchanting Fairy Village, lovingly created by our chosen charity Action Mental Health, admire Liane Radcliffe's beautiful photography exhibition, and enjoy a warm drink or homemade traybake from The Potting Shed before heading home.
Whether you're visiting with little ones, catching up with friends or simply looking for a peaceful afternoon outdoors, Autumn at Flavour First Farm is all about embracing the beauty of the season.
Slow down.
Get your hands in the soil.
Celebrate autumn as nature intended.

🌿 Before You Visit How Long Should We Allow? 
 Most visitors spend around 60-90 minutes exploring the farm, although you're very welcome to stay a little longer and enjoy everything at your own pace. 

Weather 
Autumn at Flavour First Farm is an outdoor experience and is therefore weather dependent. Should adverse weather make it unsafe for us to open, you'll be able to amend or transfer your booking directly through your Beyonk confirmation email.
 
Picnics & Refreshments 
You're very welcome to bring your own picnic. A dedicated picnic area is available for visitors. Please note that seating within and outside The Potting Shed is reserved for guests purchasing food or drinks from us. A delicious selection of teas, coffees, cold drinks, traybakes and seasonal treats will be available to purchase. Please dispose of rubbish responsibly or take it home with you.

Children 
Flavour First is a working family farm. Children must remain supervised at all times.

Dogs 
 Well-behaved dogs are welcome on leads but are not permitted in the pumpkin patch area.  Please clean up after your dog and dispose of waste responsibly. Dog mess spoils the experience for everyone and, if it becomes an ongoing issue, we may unfortunately have to review our dog-friendly policy.

Accessibility 
Accessible parking is available close to the entrance for Blue Badge holders. The pumpkin patch is approximately 100 metres from the parking area. As this is a working farm, some areas include grass, bark pathways and naturally uneven ground which may not be suitable for all wheelchairs or mobility scooters. Please note there is currently no level access toilet. If you have any questions before your visit, we'd be delighted to help.

Respecting the Farm 
We're incredibly proud of our family farm and kindly ask all visitors to help us care for it. Please: 
  • Use the bins provided or take your rubbish home.
  • Respect our flowers, wildlife and farm animals.  There will be no contact with our farm animals.  Our Highland Cow Experience Days are over for the season.
  • Stay on marked pathways where possible.
  • Leave everything as you found it for others to enjoy.

🔥 BBQs 
 For everyone's safety, BBQs, disposable BBQs and open flames are not permitted anywhere on the farm.

💛 A Gentle Reminder 
 Flavour First is a working family farm, not a Halloween attraction. Our pumpkins grow in the soil, our flowers bloom when nature decides, and every season tells a different story.
We hope you'll leave with muddy boots, rosy cheeks and wonderful memories made together outdoors.
