Craft Workshop – Wednesday 30th October
PLEASE SELECT PUMPKIN PATCH ENTRY + WORKSHOP OPTION IF YOU HAVE NOT YET BOOKED YOUR TICKETS TO THE PUMPKIN PATCH EVENT. A WORKSHOP TICKET ALONE WILL NOT PERMIT ENTRY TO THE EVENT.
Come and spend an hour crafting in our event tent under the guidance of our workshop leader from 1- 2pm.
Every child will take home a hand-decorated terracotta pot planted with three tete-a-tete daffodils which will flower in the New Year, a colourful autumn crown decorated with leaves, mini sunflowers and petals from our farm-grown flowers, and an enchanting wand decorated with colourful ribbons and fabrics for casting spells. This workshop will encourage children to connect with the seasons, explore their creativity and find joy in the natural bounty on our doorstep.
One ticket admits one child + accompanying adult to the workshop.
£12.00 – £17.00
Please note that a workshop ticket alone will not gain entry to The Pumpkin Patch event. All workshop attendees (children and accompanying adults) must have also booked their £5 entry tickets to The Pumpkin Patch event. You can either:
- Book your child’s Workshop Only ticket, and book your event entry tickets separately for your whole party (best option if you have already booked entry tickets)
- Book Workshop + Event Entry ticket together and add event entry tickets to cart for all other members of your group

farm shop
We sell all our own homegrown produce when in season - including several varieties of our own potatoes - picked and on the shelves within a few hours. We work hard to source the best quality local products from Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire and The Cotswolds. In our fridges you’ll find local meat, pies and sausage rolls from Eadles Farm in neighbouring Beckley village, chicken, lamb and beef from D'Oyley's Farm in Stadhampton, award-winning organic cheeses from Nettlebed Creamery, and traditional farmhouse Cotswold Butter – plus all manner of condiments and cooking sauces, baking supplies, biscuits, pantry essentials, free range eggs and milk from Oxfordshire farms and dairies. Our bread arrives each morning from Oxford’s Natural Bread Company and Degustibus artisan bakers in Abingdon.
PYO
The Rectory Farm picking season runs from April - October, starting with asparagus and finishing with pumpkins.
Our strawberries ripen up at the start of May and finish into September. Check out our PYO page to see what's in season when, and for lots of recipe ideas.
