We love Windmill Hill City Farm, so when we found out that they were organising fun activities for Halloween, my friend Liska and I thought that it would be the perfect place to take the kids to get into the mood for the scariest of all festivities.
We met at the farm at around lunchtime with the idea to have a quick spot of lunch before letting Amy and Aaron roam around, but the two had different plans and happily fed the ducks before exploring the farm.
They climbed trees
and hid behind pushes
They spotted skeletons in the trees
and watched the pigs.
They admired the sheep
and pretended they got caught in a spider web.
They found the Loch Ness monster made from rubbish
before picking their pumpkins, drawing on their designs, hollowing it out
and handing it over to us mummies for the final touches.
Amy was very happy with her little friend.
We had a fantastic day, glorious weather and great fun playing and exploring. So much so that we were the last ones to leave. After a late lunch, we headed over to the farm’s playground and the kids had an absolute blast running wild, climbing and playing in the sand. It was beautiful and so warm that you could easily forget that it’s actually autumn.
If you live in Bristol or surrounding areas, why not check out the farm. You find more info here.
What a beautiful day it was. The activities, the company, the place, the WEATHER. Stunning post, love it. Thank you xx
Thank you 🙂 Without you, I don’t think I would have bothered doing anything yesterday, but it was a fab day and both Amy and I had great fun x
Looks like an ideal Halloween day out in the sun playing and carving pumpkins. I had a rather nightmare one standing in endless queues with my kids at an Halloween event and a daughter who couldn’t stop crying after visiting the Haunted House! N
Oh no, what a shame. I hope your neighbours made up for it and were extra generous when they went trick or treating x

It looks like they had loads of fun climbing trees and carving pumpkins, the weather was gorgeous here too, hard to believe it’s November now! #countrykids
I know, crazy isn’t it? I don’t think I’ve ever experienced an October day that warm, apart from the year I was in Italy in October x
Looks like it was a great day out with friends and lovely photos. Loving all the opportunities for young children to have a go at pumpkins. Saves less mess at home!

So true, although I don’t mind a bit of pumpkin mess. Amy has created much worse with her own ideas 😀
Seems like you had such a great Halloween, lovely photos! 🙂 x

Wow, what a great place to take the kids. So much to see and do. What kids wouldn’t love climbing trees and ropes. The pumpkin carving looks so much fun. Love the photo of proud Amy and hers x #countrykids
We have family very close to Bristol so this would be a good place to visit when we are next in the area. Thanks for the heads-up!
I can really recommend it. It’s a fabulous place for little ones and the cafe serves really nice food x
it looks like a great place to go & I love AMy’s pumpkin!
