Quick Actions
Tips & Advice
- Wear sturdy outdoor footwear like trainers or wellington boots, as the fields can be muddy in October. Gloves are also recommended for handling pumpkins and prickly stalks.
- Book your 'Pumpkin Picker' ticket in advance, especially for early week slots, to ensure you have the best selection of pumpkins before they sell out.
- Bring your own strong carrier bags or reusable bags for transporting your pumpkins, as bin liners may not be strong enough.
- While you can bring a picnic, please consume it in the designated picnic area. You are welcome to enjoy purchased food and ice cream on the premises.
- Consider arriving slightly before or after your booked time slot; they are flexible and you can spend as long as you like once checked in.
