Attended for the pumpkin picking festivals, we had a great time. There was lots to do and plenty of space. The staff were super friendly and welcoming. Only issue was they had a rule that you had to pick the pumpkins you touched, however, a lot of the pumpkins in the field were rotted and it couldn’t be seen until you flipped the pumpkin over.
Fantastic place, we came for the halloween event, quite an expensive day, but we spent 5 hours there and the kids were really happy so worth the pennies. Lots to do, entertainment, pumpkins galore, food stalls, arcade games, shows, lots of things to entertain the littlies. Loved it, great staff and toilet facilities.
My family and I took a fun summer trip to Spilman Farms! Picking fresh strawberries was such a sweet experience—literally! They smelled amazing and tasted even better. Just don’t forget to pay before you snack 😉. The place is huge, with a big green lawn, a fun play area for the kids, and a beautiful sunflower field that’s perfect for photos. We also made a quick pit stop at their little shop and treated ourselves to some tasty pizza. Yum! Summer is summering 💃🏻💃🏻
Absolutely fantastic experience!! The day that we booked to go our daughter (who is autistic) had the worst morning which meant we couldn't go. I emailed them and explained in the hope that we could change for another day. Steph got back to me quite quickly to say that it would be no trouble at all to try the next day and if not to let her know and we could try to arrange something else. Thankfully, we did manage the next day and my daughter was so glad that we made it. As we had already went pumpkin picking here a couple of years ago, I thought I knew what to expect but have to say it was much better. There were more activities than before and we really enjoyed ourselves. The only part that my daughter didn't like was the disco but that's purely because with her autism she really struggles with loud noises. She loved the haunted walk and the toasted marshmallows, but her favourite was the tractor ride. Well done Spillmans for a fab day and the staff were so lovely even though they were so busy, not 1 person was unpleasant or looked unhappy to be there!
Wow, what an amazing day out at Spilmans Farm! We visited to pick a pumpkin and were blown away by all the other spooky activities included in the admission. The kids are 12, 10 and 6. I loved the Spooky Walk, the older kids loved rolling around in the giant pipes (haha!), the bouncy pillow and climbing hay bales, while the youngest loved the Halloween show, tractor rides and the playground. The farm offered an incredible variety of pumpkins in all shapes, sizes and colours, with plenty of gorgeous photo opportunities. The food was delicious and catered to all tastes. We especially loved the fresh wood fired pizzas! You can see the hard work that has gone into ensuring everyone has a great time. The farm is also dog friendly which is so convenient for families like ours. Overall, it was a fantastic Halloween experience that we’d highly recommend to everyone! 🎃👻
