A fresh crop of family fun is ready to be dug up and taken home.
Willows Activity Farm, located near St Albans, is celebrating its annual potato harvest this September with two themed events, the Spud-tacular Wild West Adventure and a weekday Potato Shindig.
Andrew Wolfe, director at Willows Activity Farm, said: "Harvest is one of the most important events in the farming calendar, and I’m thrilled we’re able to share it with our guests.
"I’m particularly pleased we’re able to offer a special weekday morning event for our preschoolers and introduce some of our youngest visitors to this key time of the year."
The Spud-tacular Wild West Adventure runs on weekends from September 5 to 20, offering cowboy and cowgirl shows, Wild West-themed arts and crafts, and the chance to dig for potatoes.
During the week, the Potato Shindig takes place every morning from September 7 to 18.
This event is designed especially for preschoolers and includes a brand-new Peter Rabbit show focused on harvest time.
Visitors can head to the Potato Patch, where 20 tonnes of Picasso potatoes—equivalent to the weight of three and a half elephants—are ready to be unearthed and taken home.
Mr Wolfe said: "This particular variety is a great all rounder and brilliant mashed, roasted or baked in their skins."
Every paying child who visits during the potato harvest will receive a free bag of potatoes.
The fun doesn’t stop there.
Willows’ full programme of activities will also be available throughout September, including the PETER RABBIT™ Adventure Playground, adventure golf, Peter Rabbit shows throughout the day, funfair rides, inflatables, Tristan the Runaway Tractor, and the Puddle Play Park.
Day tickets and multi-tickets include access to all activities, shows, and adventure play areas.
Tickets start from £17.95 and can be booked in advance.
The Spud-tacular Wild West Adventure will be held on the weekends of September 5-6, 12-13, and 19-20.
The Potato Shindig takes place every weekday morning from September 7 to 18.
