Plan around a dated farm visit

The farm publishes individual bookings for the first four Saturdays and Sundays in October. It also lists sensory days on 9 and 16 October. Those dates give visitors a choice of sessions, but the page does not describe the particular adjustments offered on sensory days; ask the farm if someone in your group has specific needs.

Tickets and what to check

The dated booking links show €10.50 when checked. Confirm the ticket category, included activities and any booking fees on the purchase page. In particular, check which pumpkin size is included and which activities are available during your chosen session rather than assuming all general farm activities run throughout the event.
