Piggy Pumpkin Parties
Piggy Pumpkin Parties are coming soon to Park Hill Farm
The concept is simple. What do you do with your pumpkins once you have carved them?
Bin them of course, or you could recycle them and bring them to a Piggy Pumpkin Party.
The pigs love pumpkins/apples/bread/potatoes, and these are the gifts you bring for the piggies.
But of course, the piggies will normally play with their edible presents, which shows children that farm animals can't live in a sterile environment, they need enrichment in their life.
Once you have met the piggies, then give a piggy a pumpkin, and in return you will get lots of balloons.
There are so many lessons to be learned, in such a fun way, why not book a private party for your children and friends, or join in on parties we arrange?
Price £2 per child.
DATES - October half term, and other dates to suit you.
Call 07966 460312, or e-mail beef@parkhillfarm.co.uk to book.

WOODLAND RAMBLE THIS COMING SATURDAY
Park Hill Farm,
Hales, Nr Market Drayton is getting ready for its first autumn activity – a Woodland Ramble followed by soup and a roll
for those aged over 10 years old, which is this SATURDAY, the 22ND September.
Patsy Pimlott of Park Hill said “with the schools into the
third week, and summer slipping away, we have a great activity day for older
families and those without children. This year we are including soup and a roll
lunch, with meat from the Park Hill Farm shop for those taking part. Soup for
vegetarians will also be served. This
will be our first event this autumn, and places are filling up as people look
for something new to do to at weekends.
“Dogs on leads are very welcome, and the walk takes in some
of the most breathtaking views of the Staffordshire/Shropshire countryside. The
terrain will be hilly and uneven, and the walk will be about 3 hours. It is quite strenuous in places, however, the
pace will be steady, and there will be places where cars can come and collect
those who are unable to complete the walk.
“The walk has a booking fee of £5 per person, and for safety
reasons, places need to pre-book by
telephone (07966 460312). Walkers
need to be dressed for walking in all weathers and landscapes and bring water
bottles.”
We look forward to seeing you then.

Woodland Ramble followed by Soup and a roll
At Park Hill Farm, Hales. TF9 2QA
Saturday 22nd September 2012
Admission £5 ea, payment in advance by debit card over the phone to 01630 652178
It feels like summer is slipping away, so lets stroll through the most glorious of countrysides, up hill and down dale, before it gets too cold to go for a long walk.
With hilly conditions, a couple of places will be suitable for collecting those of you who pull up lame, so bring your mobile phones.
We won't be going at any great pace, but we will be walking for at least a couple of hours.
Dogs welcome, but must be on a lead at all times.
10 years of age and over please.
Please circulate to your friends and rambling groups.
Booking is essential for catering purposes and also, just in case we have to cancel.
See you there!
