点评:Stay away!
I visited the Pumpkin Festival with my six-year-old son after seeing the fun, family-oriented event described on the farm’s website. Sadly, the reality was very different.
When we arrived, the setup was chaotic — unclear queues, little direction, and overall poor organisation. Inside, it was confusing to know what was included or where to go. Most activities were overcrowded, unengaging, or required extra spending, and the “Wonka” theme didn’t really come through beyond costumes and a few decorations. We left after an hour, disappointed and feeling it was not worth the £33 we paid. After speaking to some people at the event, they felt the same, and the organisers even admitted that they had received another complaint after running for just 3 days.
I wrote to the organisers afterwards with detailed feedback, hoping they would take it constructively. Unfortunately, their reply was a standard response, which was defensive and impersonal (they didn’t even address me by name), focusing on justifying their costs rather than acknowledging a customer’s experience.
It’s a shame, because the event has potential and the décor was nice, but the lack of organisation, value, and empathy towards paying families makes it hard to recommend. I won’t be returning.

我在农场网站上看到南瓜节的宣传,说这是一个充满乐趣、适合全家参与的活动,于是带着六岁的儿子去了。可惜,实际情况却大相径庭。
我们到达时,现场一片混乱——排队路线不明,指示不清,整体组织很差。进入场地后,我们更是摸不着头脑,不知道哪些项目包含在内,也不知道该往哪里走。大多数活动都人满为患,要么毫无吸引力,要么需要额外付费,“旺卡”主题也只是些服装和装饰而已。一个小时后,我们失望地离开了,觉得这33英镑花得太冤枉了。之后,我和一些参加活动的人聊了聊,他们也有同样的感受。组织者甚至承认,活动才举办了三天,他们就收到了另一起投诉。
事后,我给组织者写了一封详细的反馈信,希望他们能认真对待。遗憾的是,他们的回复千篇一律,语气生硬且缺乏人情味(他们甚至没有叫我的名字),只顾着证明他们的收费合理,而丝毫不关心顾客的体验。
这很可惜,因为活动本身很有潜力,装饰也很漂亮,但组织混乱、服务不周,而且对付费家庭缺乏同理心,实在难以推荐。我不会再来了。
