The farm shop, butchery and cafe near Grayingham, just north of Caenby Corner, is celebrating all things spooky this month with their giant five-acre Halloween Maize Maze and Pumpkin Picking Patch.

It is a perfect day out for the whole family and you can even take advantage of the free carving station to design your own pumpkin.
