How these were checked
Each listing was built from the farm's own website, calendar and ticket pages, then confirmed by email where those pages disagreed with one another. The date of that check sits on every listing above.
Three farms on this page have told us something their own websites got wrong. Rosehill's opening was pushed back by a delivery delay, to 26 September. Harvest Season Farms is running October weekends only, not the season their site advertises. HALTER's site shows last year's weekend; the charity confirmed 17–18 October.
