Our PYO pumpkin patch will be opening soon.  

We will be open every weekend until 29th October. We will also be open during the week from 23rd October. 

This year our pumpkin patch is far bigger, with way more varieties than ever before. 

We have grown approximately 30 acres of pumpkins (that is roughly 15 football pitches!) with over 30 different varieties of pumpkins and squash for you to pick from. Our pumpkins are all grown from seed on the farm. 

We huge ones (they have loved the rain this summer!), 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. If you can't find your perfect pumpkin with us, we don't think you will anywhere!

Saturday 7th October 9am-11am will be a Special Educational Needs (SEN) session. Only book this session if a member of your group has SEN. You may be asked to substantiate on arrival. If you cannot, we will not be able to let you enter. This session is very important to us and we want it to be enjoyed by those who need it and couldn't visit us during other opening times.  

Pumpkins can be stored for MONTHS. They like to be clean, dry and stored somewhere cool. (Not near a radiator!). 

Pumpkin picking tends to be very popular, so we advise booking early to avoid disappointment. If tickets sell out we will not be accepting walk ins on the day. 

 

Amongst the pumpkins will be some spooky surprises alongside our play patch and plenty of photo opportunities.

 

Our play patch will be back, with our visitor favourites the bale tower - but bigger. Our treasure sandpits, our pedal tractors, Jenga and many more games to enjoy. We also have a mini maize maze to find your way around. We are much more than just pumpkin picking.

 

Roaming Giraffe will be joining us offering baked potatoes and toasted sandwiches. On certain dates The Courtyard Creperie will be with us too.  Hot drinks and treats will also be available. 

We do have some hard standing parking but if it has been very wet please check our facebook page for any updates. 

Cash and card are both accepted.

We do not welcome dogs due to health and safety. 

The pumpkin patch is a field! Please come prepared for mud, uneven ground and take care. We are a working farm. Please look out for tractors, trailers etc and do not wander the farm - it could be dangerous.

PUMPKINS

There are over 30 different varieties of pumpkins and squash. Some especially good for eating and some just for carving. 

All pumpkins will (hopefully!) have been cut from the vine. This allows the skin to harden and they can be stored for several months. 

 

Pumpkins like to be stored somewhere cool, dry and clean. 
 

REFRESHMENTS

There will be food available to purchase. Varying throughout the season we will have larger meal options of baked potatoes, toasted sandwiches or crepes. There will also be fresh coffee, cakes and treats. 

Extras

Amongst the pumpkins will be some spooky scenes for you to enjoy. Please be careful with them so they can be enjoyed by everyone. 

We will have our play patch with bale towers and maze to enjoy and tire out smaller legs. 

We will have some photo opportunities too.
