Roves Farm near Swindon has a wealth of activities for families in the run up to Christmas. Enjoy Carving in the Pumpkin Patch (24 Oct–3 Nov), where you can choose your own pumpkin from the hundreds on display. Little witches and wizards can make a wand and cast their first spell, enjoy animal encounters, crafts, music sessions and more.
Don’t miss the Fright Nights (25-27 Oct) where the farm has been taken over by blood-thirsty zombies. Those brave enough can take a seat on the farm’s unique Hayride experience, returning for its third year.
The Christmas Experience sees Father Christmas return to his grotto (30 Nov-23 Dec). Take a seat in his cosy living room and be sure to let him know your Christmas wish. Spend your Golden Coin in the Toy Shop, with shelves full of great quality toys for all ages. Try your hand at making a delicious treat for Rudolph and friends. And don’t miss the amazing Elf Show, featuring some much-loved Christmas characters.
Hop aboard Father Christmas’ sleigh for a photo opportunity, enjoy paper crafts, meet and feed the animals and lots more during this special festive family experience.
