点评:A fantastic fun filled evening. I cannot rate Hatters Farm highly enough we had an amazing evening of pumpkin related activities. Fantastic value for money and suitable for all ages.
I was a little unsure after booking if I had made the right choice as I saw other pumpkin farms being shared on social media but I totally did.
We expected to spend about an hour there but after 2 and a half hours decided to leave as there were a few spots of rain which was forecast and we wanted to get out before a mass exodus.
There was just so much more to do than pick pumpkins. The "scary" scarecrow who wandered the pumpkin patch was so friendly, happy to pose for pictures and chat, she was just brilliant.
The general Halloween decor made for so many fun photo opportunities and the anamatronics just added to the entertainment.
The Scare Maze at first looked small and was maybe not going to be very good but as the screams coming from it increased we took our turn to go in. It was very well laid out with twists and turns taking you to various rooms and multiple scares which included not only more anamatronic characters but live actors. And the live actors were wonderful keeping totally still until just the right moment. I have never seen my adult daughter move so fast or scream so loud 10 out of 10 to those guys.
We loved the pumpkin cannon (additional charge) and even standing in line everybody was willing the person firing to make a better shot than the one before and reacting to the shot so it wasn't boring.
The Maize Maze was totally worth the little bit extra and we could have spent far longer in it hunting for the clues to the challenge we were given when we entered but there was so much to do and we still wanted to pick our pumpkins.
There are refreshment stands we only had coffee and hot chocolate but the prices weren't over the top and I recommend the pumpkin spice.
There is a covered area with seating to take a break and enjoy your refreshments or just hide if it does rain as well as straw bales everywhere. Toilets are portaloos but clean and well stocked with the essentials.
Everywhere is suitably lit but a torch for the clues in the Maize Maze was useful. We used phones for the ones we struggled with but think using actual torches all the way would have spoilt the atmosphere.
Yes it was muddy. Its a field in October and its rained quite a bit recently so it was expected but all the time we were there staff were laying fresh straw especially in areas of high foot fall and boot scrapers are provided.
The staff in general are cheerful helpful and friendly.
Can I find a fault? Maybe 1 the season is too short but I love Halloween.

We will be going back next year.
翻译:一个充满乐趣的美妙夜晚。我对帽子农场的评价再高也不为过,我们度过了一个精彩的南瓜相关活动之夜。物超所值,适合所有年龄段。
预订后我有点不确定我是否做出了正确的选择,因为我看到其他南瓜农场在社交媒体上分享,但我完全做到了。
我们预计在那里待大约一个小时,但两个半小时后决定离开,因为预计会有一些雨,我们想在大规模撤离之前离开。
除了摘南瓜之外,还有很多事情要做。在南瓜地里徘徊的“可怕”稻草人是如此友好,乐于摆姿势拍照和聊天,她真是太聪明了。
万圣节的整体装饰为人们提供了许多有趣的拍照机会,而电子动画也增添了娱乐性。
恐怖迷宫一开始看起来很小,可能不会很好,但随着里面传来的尖叫声越来越多,我们轮流进去了。它的布局非常好,曲折,带你到不同的房间和多种恐怖其中不仅包括更多的电子动画角色,还包括现场演员。现场演员们在适当的时刻保持完全静止,真是太棒了。我从来没有见过我成年的女儿动作这么快,或者对那些家伙尖叫得十分之大声。
我们喜欢南瓜大炮(额外收费),甚至排队时每个人都希望开枪的人能比以前打得更好,并对射击做出反应,所以这并不无聊。
玉米迷宫完全值得多花一点点,我们本可以在里面花更长的时间来寻找我们进入时面临的挑战的线索,但有很多事情要做,我们仍然想摘南瓜。
有茶点摊,我们只喝咖啡和热巧克力,但价格并不算高,我推荐南瓜香料。
有一个带顶棚的座位区,可以休息一下,享用点心,或者在下雨时躲起来,到处都是稻草包。厕所是门式的,但很干净,并且配备了充足的必需品。
到处都有适当的照明,但在玉米迷宫中寻找线索的火把很有用。对于那些遇到困难的人,我们使用了手机,但我们认为一直使用真正的手电筒会破坏气氛。
是的,那里很泥泞。这是十月的田野,最近下了很多雨,所以这是预料之中的,但我们在那里的所有时间,工作人员都在铺设新鲜的稻草,特别是在高脚落差的地区,并提供了靴子刮刀。
总的来说,工作人员都很开朗、乐于助人和友好。
我能找出错误吗?也许这个季节太短了,但我喜欢万圣节。

我们明年还会回去。
