🎨 Creative Summer Opportunity 🎨

Are you a creative person looking for a unique summer role?

We're looking for a talented and enthusiastic individual to join us in a paid temporary role behind the scenes at The Patch MK, helping to bring our 2026 Pumpkin & Halloween events to life.

The role will primarily involve:

🎨 Painting large-scale props and scenery
🔨 Assisting with prop construction and development
🏚️ Creating immersive themed sets and displays
✨ Helping transform ideas into memorable visitor experiences

This opportunity would be particularly well suited to a university student, recent graduate, school leaver, or an experienced creative individual looking for a temporary role. We would love to hear from anyone with a passion for art, design, theatre, set construction, prop making, creative production or scenic decoration.

Each year we create a wide range of installations, photo opportunities and themed environments across our event site, and we're looking for someone who would enjoy being part of the creative process from concept to completion.

If you'd love the chance to work on large-scale creative projects in a unique environment, we'd love to hear from you.

Please send a brief introduction about yourself, along with a link to your portfolio or examples of your work, to:

[email protected]

Please feel free to share with anyone who may be interested.

🚀 Up, up and away! 🌱

The first of this year's seedlings are already emerging across the fields.

Thanks to the unusually warm weather, germination has been incredibly quick this year.

Thank you for all the rain dances — they certainly seemed to help! 💃☔

It's always one of our favourite moments of the year. A tiny green shoot might not look like much now, but in just a few short months it will grow into a whole world of adventures, laughter, memories and excitement.

Now we watch them grow and do our best to protect them from the many perils of nature along the way...

World War 2 on the farm, a bit of Milton Keynes history (it may not all be 100% factually correct, farmer not a historian 😉)

Excuse me May, we need to have a word… ☀️🥵

What is this witchcraft we are experiencing?

Certain areas in the south reached 35°C this week, following an exceptionally dry April where we saw only around 30% of the rainfall we would normally expect.

The scorching days and warm nights, have meant seeds are germinating incredibly quickly, producing thousands upon thousands of thirsty little plants across the farm 🌱

It’s beautiful weather, and after such a long wet winter we are certainly enjoying the sunshine, but there’s no denying how unusual it feels, or the fact that we are now in real need of significant rainfall. Right now, it feels far more like mid-summer than late spring.

Anyone fancy joining us for a rain dance this evening? 🌧️

🐝🌼 Happy World Bee Day 🌼🐝

Tiny but mighty, bees do far more than make honey… they help grow so much of the food and flowers we all love 🌸🌾

Here on the farm, they’re some of our hardest workers — busy pollinating wildflowers, pumpkin plants, sunflowers and everything in between while we’re still on our first coffee of the day ☕😅

Without bees, our fields wouldn’t look quite so colourful, our pumpkins wouldn’t grow quite so plentifully, and the farm definitely wouldn’t feel the same.

So today’s a little reminder to appreciate the buzz behind the scenes 🐝💛
