Frequently Asked Questions

What is High Lodge Farm?

High Lodge Farm is working Oxfordshire farm run by four sisters. It opens to the public approximately five times a year for short-term seasonal events, including an Easter Trail, Big Bale Play, Pumpkin Patch and Spooky Trail, and Bale Play in the Barn. All the events are farm-themed and are aimed at children aged between 1 - 14. We also run a pop-up campsite during the summer holidays.

Where is High Lodge Farm?

Most of our events are held in a field on the edge of the A415 Abingdon Road, Culham, Abingdon, Oxfordshire. Nearest post code is OX14 3BN. Please drive through the metal gates and park in the grassy field. We’re 0.4 miles from the Europa School. What3Words: tribal.dizzy.tribes

Please note, if you’re coming to our campsite or Bale Play in the Barn, please follow the directions in your welcome email because you need to access the farm from a different direction. Do not go to our usual events site.

When are you open?

We are a private working farm, but we’re open for just a few days each year when we run pop-up seasonal events. Blink and you’ll miss us!

See our social media channels, different website pages or sign up to our newsletter for more information and more precise dates and times.

How do I book tickets?

Visit our booking website to book tickets for our seasonal events. Each online booking will incur a £1 booking fee. We do accept walk-ins on the day, but this is subject to availability. Gate tickets are more expensive than those booked in advance.

My plans have changed. Can I change the day and time of my booking?

Yes. Create an account when paying to amend your booking day or time, subject to availability. If you haven’t created an account, email highlodgeevents@gmail.com and we will amend bookings at our discretion. Please note, tickets cannot be transferred to different events.

What is your refund policy?

Tickets for all our events are non-refundable unless we have to cancel the event for any reason. Please note, our events are all outdoor and we generally open even if it’s raining.

Do you have parking?

Yes, our car park is a flat grassy field. Parking is free. It can get muddy when it’s wet, so please drive carefully.

Do you take cash and card?

Yes, we take both everywhere on site.

Are there toilets?

Yes, we usually have a mobile toilet block and/or Portaloos and one accessible toilet with a baby changing facility. We also have a separate hand-washing station.

What food and drink is available at your events?

The Toot sells proper coffee, tea, hot chocolate, brownies and flapjacks, ice creams and other soft drinks. The Tasty Toot sells hot dogs, burgers, breakfast rolls and kids meal deals. The Sweet Toot sells ice creams and other goodies. Catering options vary slightly according to each event.

Is the site buggy and wheelchair friendly?

Sometimes. It depends on how much rain we’ve had. Most of the time an all-terrain buggy (not a stroller) will be able to navigate the field and woodland. We recommend a baby/toddler carrier when it’s wet.

There are no solid paths, so wheelchairs will struggle in and around the woodland. We have accessible parking near the entrance. Please speak to our staff if you require assistance.

What footwear do we need?

If there’s been a lot of rain, we recommend wellies because it’s likely to be very muddy, otherwise trainers should be fine. We are not liable for any injuries.

Can I bring my dog?

No. Only assistance dogs are allowed on site.
