Professional photographers or businesses who will profit from their photographs must book a photographer’s session by emailing us directly: info@thejollygroup.co.uk.
Are you wheelchair friendly?
Jolly Pumpkin is a stunning place to explore, and we work hard to try and make as many areas of the site accessible to all.
The fields can be bumpy, muddy and uneven underfoot.
Intrepid visitors in wheelchairs and mobility scooters can negotiate the paths around the fields, however, we would advise you to take the decision depending on the frailty and attitude of the individual.
Accessible toilets are available and are located within our toilet area.
Please note we only have grass parking available.
Can I bring a pram/pushchair?
Of course!
Please be aware that the event is in a field, so the ground is often uneven and bumpy, you can always use a wheelbarrow.
The ground conditions will change depending on the weather conditions. You may prefer to use a sling or carrier instead. Please speak to the team member at the entrance when you arrive for an update on the ground conditions.
We also have baby-changing facilities in our accessible toilet.
Is the 30-minute timeslot the only time we get to pick our pumpkins?
