Diary entry · 19 October 2026 vlog · reviewed 20 October
A first week to remember at The 110 Farm
The first week of the 2026 pumpkin patch is complete in Tom’s mega vlog published 19 October, and preparations for the next pumpkin weekend continue. Maize routes, Hook-a-pumpkin and the growing photo wall feature alongside the event shop and food traders. Bring wellies, a coat and bags; wheelbarrows stay on site. Unity Mill parking: £3 cash, correct change, maximum two hours; farm sessions: 90 minutes.
First week complete; preparations continue
Based on Life of Tom’s mega vlog published 19 October 2026 and reviewed on 20 October. It follows day two, day three, day four and the preparation day afterwards. The first week finishes in the source, but the season has not ended: the team is refreshing the patch for the next weekend. Publication and filming dates are not an official timetable.
Photo spots, maize routes and pumpkin memories
Direction signs, the arch, Big Red sign, bale seating and photo positions, and the pumpkin-house area feature during visitor days. Maize routes are in use during week one, though dimensions, accessibility and separate charges remain unverified. Food traders, the event shop and photo booth serve visitors, and the growing visitor-photo wall becomes a highlight. Hook-a-pumpkin is Tom’s corrected name for the game previously called hook-a-duck, not an additional attraction. Charges and admission inclusions are not established; photo spots do not imply vehicle rides or unrestricted equipment access.
Tom asks visitors to tag @the110farm when sharing their memories. A social tag does not give this fan site permission to reuse visitor photographs; no new visitor gallery has been added without permission.
Pumpkins and tickets: dated estimates, not live stock
Plenty of pumpkins remain in the field at the end of the filmed week. Tom repeats an approximate 30,000-pumpkin growing figure and says the original release of roughly 15,000 tickets sold in four minutes. These are attributed historical claims, not audited crop totals, attendance, certified capacity or live ticket inventory. He says any additional ticket releases will be announced on the farm’s official Instagram; releases are conditional, not promised.
Come prepared for the ground
Fresh straw is spread between visitor days, but rain and heavy footfall can leave maintained routes muddy and uneven. A trolley’s wheels clog in the 19 October mega vlog; that is an individual incident, not proof that every pushchair or wheelchair will fail. Earlier successful all-terrain-wheelchair visits are individual experiences, not blanket access guarantees. Contact the farm through its official Instagram (@the110farm) for current conditions and your specific needs. Accessible parking, drop-off, chair hire, companion-ticket rules and route dimensions remain unverified.
Event toilets are in use and being emptied and cleaned in the 19 October mega vlog. Ask the team for their locations and any specific facilities you need. Accessible units, baby changing and the exact facility map remain unverified.
Keep the visit flowing
No. A ticket does not guarantee meeting Tom or having a photograph with him. The 19 October mega vlog describes queues obstructing vendors, the barn, photo booth and entrances. Tom may be busy running the event: keep visitor routes, vendor access, entrances and exits clear. A farm session is not a meet-and-greet package.
The Highland bull may choose to rest out of sight, and the team leaves him there rather than forcing him into view. A particular animal sighting cannot be guaranteed. Respect the animals’ space and the farm’s barriers. The bull’s name, proposed naming-poll candidates, URL, voting window and result remain unconfirmed. No public feeding, touching, rides or guided animal tours are established.
Travel and carrying pumpkins
Event parking is at Unity Mill: £3 cash with the correct change, for a maximum stay of two hours. Your farm session lasts 90 minutes, a separate limit from parking. Follow the farm’s official directions and event signs, car share where possible, and keep driveways, business entrances, bus stops and access lanes clear. Follow posted speed limits; Tom highlighted a 20mph section on the approach without identifying the precise segment. Earlier guidance interpreted the parking gates’ closing time as 6pm; confirm the current deadline with the operator rather than relying on that interpretation. An approved entrance map and accessible drop-off have not been verified here.
Ticketed sessions last 90 minutes. Leave at the end of your booked session. Unity Mill parking has a separate maximum stay of two hours (120 minutes); it does not extend your farm visit. The opening-day vlog describes arrivals every 30 minutes, not 30-minute visits. Use the farm’s current booking instructions for your arrival time.
No. Wheelbarrows must remain on site. Return yours at the team’s collection point before leaving; do not take it to the car park. Pay for your pumpkins before leaving. Bring suitable bags or ask about the event’s £1 carrying bags, subject to stock. Borrowing charges, deposits and availability have not been established.
On opening day, seven jars were released per half-hour arrival slot and each allocation sold quickly. This is a dated observation from the 16 October vlog, not a live stock count or a promise of replenishment on every future slot. Check availability with the team on site. This new vlog does not confirm the same allocation for later sessions.
The barn and the next chapter
The barn shell is already in event use while its interior fit-out continues. Boards and flooring are still being sourced, and Tom is reviewing how the rendered design might change its warm wooden atmosphere. Generator-assisted shutter opening is demonstrated after intermittent problems; permanent mains, full fault resolution and sign-off remain unverified.
Tom is gathering a community Movember team with a £110,000 target and encourages participation from 1 November 2026. The target is not money already raised. A verified team or donation URL is still needed; this fan site accepts no payments. Follow the farm’s official channels for the current event calendar, booking and campaign announcements.
