Pumpkin Picking

Pumpkin Picking

There’s nothing quite like autumn at the farm. The leaves begin to turn, the pumpkins are ready to be picked, and families come together to enjoy one of our favourite seasons of the year. Our much-loved Pumpkin Patch returns for 2026, with thousands of pumpkins growing across the field, including over 12 unique and unusual varieties to discover. Take your time exploring the patch, find the one that catches your eye and make a day of it together. There’s plenty happening across the farm too. Say hello to our friendly harvest characters, have a go at our carnival games, meet our much-loved animals and enjoy hours of indoor and outdoor play. Whether you're making little ones laugh, capturing those annual autumn photos or simply enjoying time outdoors, there's something for everyone to enjoy. Every Pumpkin Patch ticket includes one standard pumpkin to take home, along with full access to the Farm Park and all the seasonal activities. If you spot another favourite while you're exploring, you'll also be able to pick extra pumpkins from the field. Choose your arrival time, pull on your wellies and join us for a relaxed autumn day on the farm. We look forward to welcoming you and helping your family make more special memories this harvest season.
