During the pumpkin season we'll offer...
- Ready-picked pumpkins of all sizes inside our massive indoor pumpkin tunnel.
- An area to carve your own pumpkin with kit provided and leave the mess with us.
- An outdoor 'pumpkin parade' with rows of harvested pumpkins.
- Seasonal food & drink, including hog roast and chocolate apples.
- The farm shop, cafe and outdoor play area are open as usual.
Is there pumpkin picking?
Unfortunately this year most of our own pumpkins have not grown and we do not have a genuine pumpkin patch to pick from. Our blog explains more.
Instead, we intend to create a 'pumpkin parade' in an outdoor field: rows of harvested pumpkins laid out for you to choose from. It's not the 'proper' pumpkin picking we usually offer but it's as close as we can get this year.

When is it?
The pumpkin season will be running from 12th to 31st October*. We're open every day from 9am - 5.30pm and no booking is required. There may be pumpkins to buy from the indoor tunnel before then.
Our pumpkin season gets very busy! If you have pre-school children it's best to come the week before half term (i.e. 14-18th October). If you have school aged children you might like to visit during this week after school, when we'll offer late night openings.
If coming on weekends and during half-term, please arrive early (before 10.30am) or late (after 2.30pm). The hours during the middle of the day are the most crowded and the car park is often full by mid-morning.

* We can't guarantee pumpkins will be available every day, especially this year when our own crop has not grown well. We may also have to close the 'pumpkin parade' if the weather is too wet. For these reasons please check this page again before your visit - we will keep it updated every day with the latest news during the season.
How much does it cost?
- Entry to the farm, car park and pumpkin display areas are free, and there's no need to book - just turn up.
- The pumpkins are graded by size and cost between £2 to £20.
- Entry to the carving area costs £2 per person (adult or child), babies under 18 months are free.
