Summer holidays: DONE.
🎒 Back to school: DONE.
🎅 Is it too early to mention Christmas...?

Because while you're finding PE kits, labelling water bottles and wondering how the summer holidays disappeared quite so quickly, we're already busy behind the scenes preparing something rather magical. ✨

Father Christmas on the Farm is returning to Walby for 2026! 🎅🎄

And if you've visited us at Christmas before, you'll know this isn't simply a quick visit to see Father Christmas.

It's a full festive family day out, packed with experiences to enjoy together:

❄️ Snow Time Fun
🌲 The Enchanted Forest
🍪 Gingerbread decorating
🦌 Make magical Reindeer Food AND meet our real reindeer
💌 Post your letter to Father Christmas
🔥 Toast marshmallows
🎅 Meet Father Christmas himself in small group sessions (with time for individual photos)
🪙 Receive a golden coin to exchange for a gift in the Elves' Toyshop
🧸 Build your own cuddly friend in the Teddie-Tastic Workshop
📸 Lots of magical photo opportunities
✨ Plus a few more festive surprises we're keeping under our hats for now...

And your ticket also includes full-day access to Walby Farm Park, so there's plenty of time for play and adventure alongside all that Christmas magic.

These are the childhood Christmases they'll remember. ❤️

Tickets are already on sale and our most popular dates don't hang around.

🎄 28 November - 24 December on selected dates

Who's already thinking about Christmas? Or are you firmly in the 'don't mention it until December' camp?

🎃 Who else has Pumpkin Picking firmly on their autumn family traditions list?

The school bags are back out, autumn is just around the corner... and here at Walby Farm Park, thousands of pumpkins are growing ready for one of our favourite times of the year. 🧡

From 3-31 October, Pumpkin Picking is BACK at Walby.

And these aren't pumpkins brought in and arranged for you to choose from. They're grown right here on the farm by Farmer Neil, ready for your little pumpkin pickers to head into the patch and find the one. 🎃

Expect:

🎃 Thousands of home-grown pumpkins
🧡 12 different varieties to choose from
📸 Brand NEW autumn photo opportunities
🎃 Pick your own perfect pumpkin
🔪 Pumpkin carving on site - so you can leave the mess with us!
🔥 S'mores around the fire pit*
🎯 Pumpkin Cannon* and Sling Shot*
👻 Spooky treats in The Cowshed Café

Plus, every paying child gets a FREE pumpkin to take home. 🎃

And because it's Walby, your ticket includes a full day at the Farm Park too - animals, Cumbria's largest Indoor Adventure Play Barn, Milecastle 62, outdoor adventure play and more.

It's one of our most popular events of the year and dates can sell out, particularly around half term.

📅 3-31 October

🎟️ Tickets are on sale NOW: https://www.walbyfarmpark.co.uk/event/pumpkin-picking-2026-2/
