Pumpkin Patch 2026
Overstone Grange Farm is back soon for our eighth Autumn of fun on our family farm and we have lots in store for you! We are more than just pumpkin picking.
Our pumpkin patch has a huge variety of pumpkins - 90 different types this year! Our play patch is jam packed with more fun and we have our maze to get lost in.
Our refreshments will be filled with local businesses, and we will have Moo Hatch offering freshly cooked burgers on weekends.
We will also be holding some later night pumpkin picking to enjoy the farm by torch light!
We will be open from the 26th September at weekends.
From the 24th October we will be open everyday until the 31st October.
Pumpkin Nights on the 9th, 16th & 23rd October.
Our pumpkin patch has a HUGE variety.
It is approximately 30 acres (the size of 15 football pitches) with over 100,00 seeds planted and 90 varieties of pumpkins and gourds growing.
We huge ones, we have small ones and all sizes in between. We have orange, red, white, black, blue, pink, stripey, grey and green ones. We have round ones, tall ones, tiny ones, knobbly ones. It has been a tricky summer to grow pumpkins so if you want the best variety come early.

We have our very special playhouse and a pedal tractor area. We have more games than ever from Skittles to swing ball, space hoppers to Cornhole. There should be something for the young and the young at heart to enjoy playing.
Refreshments
We have the super duper Moo Hatch joining us throughout the pumpkin picking season for weekends. There will also be hot and cold drinks and baked treats. Returning again will be the giant marshmallows for toasting and the freshly cooked doughnuts too.
There are picnic tables you can enjoy your food at.
You are welcome to bring along a blanket and picnic from home too. Please ensure ALL rubbish is put in the bins to keep the farm clean, tidy and safe for the animals.

Tips for visiting us!
-
There will be mud! Pumpkins are picked from the field in which they grow - please line your boot if you don't want it to get dirty.
-
There are wheelbarrows to borrow. Please only take 1 per group.
-
If you put kids in a wheelbarrow, it is at your own risk, we don't recommend! Do not let go of the wheelbarrow - they topple easily.
-
Pumpkins last for months. Store them somewhere cool & dry and make sure they are clean.
-
Do not kick, drop, throw or stamp on the pumpkins. You will be asked to leave immediately.
-
Book tickets - early. Pumpkin picking sells out. Book early to avoid disappointment. We can't guarantee entry without a ticket.
-
Come early to get the pick of the patch and the best variety.
