Pumpkin Nights at Hatter’s Farm

We have been pumpkin picking at Hatter’s Farm every year for the last four years, as it’s one of our absolute favorites! This year, for the first time, we decided we wanted to see Pumpkin Nights at Hatter’s Farm – mainly as Amelia was really interested in the differences from the daytime. So, one evening in October, we all headed over there, even though we had been there during the day. As such, this will primarily focus on the differences between the day and the night! At Pumpkin Nights, you can still get a pumpkin, eat a a smaller selection of the food trucks, and explore the corn maze, however, we had already done those things so focused on what was specific for the night time.

Spooky Walk at Halloween at Wimpole

We have previously done a bunch of different seasonal activities at Wimpole Estate, so when I saw that they were doing Halloween at Wimpole, I really wanted to check it out. This is a light trail, basically that has more of a spooky theme and tons of different actors along the trail which did a good job of setting the spooky tone. It wasn’t horrifying, it’s completely family friendly, and our family really enjoyed it!

Pumpkin Picking at The Green Barn Farm

[Ad- gifted experience] We went along to another pumpkin patch; this time The Green Barn Farm. This pumpkin patch is extremely affordable and feels like a real farm; with an area where you can pet animals, some cows in a field, and of course tons of pumpkins! We weren’t sure what to expect, as we had never been to The Green Barn Farm, but we were up for another spooky-themed adventure.

Di and Viv and Rose at Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch

[Ad- gifted experience] Normally, Dann and I head over to the Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch to check out their latest productions, but this time Amelia asked if she could come along! Amelia actually went to this theatre with her school, not so long ago, and has been really enjoying performances. As Di and Viv and Rose is a play about growing up together, about friendship, and had a slightly lower age rating at teenagers, Amelia was interested in coming along (and quite enjoyed it too.)

Exploring Passion and Politics: Sissinghurst and Greece at Sissinghurst Castle Garden

[Ad- gifted experience] When we went to Sissinghurst Castle Garden, we came to explore their new exhibition Passion and Politics: Sissinghurst and Greece, which is all about Vita’s husband, Harold Nicolson and his role in post-war Greece. This exhibition actually includes a bunch of unseen photographs and personal items from Harold himself, creating an intimate feeling exhibition, that builds on the small history of the gardens itself, in the outdoor below area of the same building.
