Very. The lawn is flat and buggy-friendly, the trail is gentle rather than scary, and there's soft play for the smallest visitors.

The day carries on. Hobbledown has large indoor play barns and the Imaginarium, so you can pick your pumpkin between showers and play inside the rest of the time.

Parking is free on site. Epsom station is around two miles away.

No, carving happens at home. Pick your pumpkin, pay on the day and take it away whole.
