Booking built for farm parks.
Sell timed entry, seasonal events and animal experiences from your own page. Cap the busy days, add extras like feeding and tractor rides, and take the money straight into your own Stripe account. It's a farm park ticketing system and booking software in one, on your own brand, so your customers stay yours.
See it live at Hatchwood Park
powered by HatchBusy weekends, on autopilot.
Bank holidays, summer and the Halloween and Christmas events sell themselves online, while your team is out on the farm.
Capped for the busy days
Give each day or session its own limit so a bank holiday doesn't overwhelm the car park or the café. Once it is full it stops selling, and every slot can hold a different number.
Peak and off-peak pricing
Price your quiet weekday sessions lower than your weekend peaks, so the empty slots fill without you discounting the busy ones.
Experiences and extras
Sell animal feeding, a tractor ride or a grotto slot as their own ticket types at their own prices, in the same basket as entry and counted separately.
Door check-in
Scan the QR from each booking at the door on any phone, or tick people off the list on screen. Walk-ins and pre-booked, one door.
A till for the gate
The Sell screen turns any tablet into a till for cash or card. Walk-up visitors land in the same session counts and end-of-day totals as the online bookings.
Reports at a glance
See your bookings, takings and how full each session ran, so you know what to price up, what to push and where the quiet spots are.
Every booking goes and gets you the next family.
Groups bring the whole party
Once someone has booked, one tap posts the plan to their group chat, previewing with your farm's photo and name on it. Their friends book the same slot.
Google reviews, asked for automatically
A friendly ask lands the day after they visit, while it is still fresh. For a local venue, more reviews is the single best way to be found.
Half-booked sessions, chased back
Someone wanders off mid-booking and Hatch nudges them an hour later. Sessions quietly filled, nothing for you to do.
Your sessions, published to Google
Every session goes out as structured event data, the kind Google uses for "farm park near me" and its things-to-do results.
Your visitors stay yours
They book on your page, under your name, and you keep the customer list and the data. Software you run, not a marketplace that rents you your own customers.

Straight answers.
Can I cap timed entry on the busy days?
Yes. Every day or session has its own limit, and once it is full it stops selling, so a bank holiday never overwhelms your site. Different days can hold different numbers.
Can I sell animal experiences and a grotto slot with the ticket?
Yes. Alongside entry you add extras as their own ticket types at their own prices, such as animal feeding, a tractor ride or a grotto slot, and each is counted and reported separately.
Can I run seasonal events like Halloween and Christmas from one system?
Yes. Your seasonal events are just sessions with their own dates, prices and capacities, run from one venue and one dashboard alongside everyday entry.
Can visitors change their own booking?
Yes. From their confirmation a visitor can change their own booking, moving to another time or adding and dropping tickets, confirmed by a short code we email them. If the change works out cheaper we refund the difference straight to their card, with nothing for you to do. If it costs more, they pay the difference there and then. A full cancellation stays your call, a couple of clicks from your dashboard.
Do walk-ins and online bookings end up in one place?
Yes. The Sell screen takes walk-ins on any tablet as cash or card, and they land in the same counts and end-of-day totals as the online bookings. One set of numbers.
What does a farm park booking system from Hatch cost?
No setup fee, no monthly minimum, and the money is paid straight into your own Stripe account. Our fee is 3% of what you sell. All in, with card fees, that is about 4.5% + 20p a booking. For a farm park doing serious volume, or a group of venues, the rate flexes, so talk to us.
