About Hasty’s Adventure Farm

Hasty's Pumpkin Week: pumpkin trail included with entry, with paid add-ons for picking a pumpkin and a full carving/potion experience.

Our older description (written for a previous season)

Hasty's Adventure Farm, named after the field it now occupies, was established with the aim of providing a space for outdoor play and farm animal interactions. Located in Clacton, the family behind Hasty's wanted to offer children the opportunity to connect with nature and learn about food sources. In addition to their regular offerings, they host Pumpkin Week from October 21st to October 29th, 2023.
