Have you got tractor mad kids that would just love to see this??

Will you choose an orange pumpkin? Maybe a white one? Do you fancy something a bit different? Perhaps a blue one? A decorative gourde? A stripy one? Or a good cooking variety for spiced pumpkin cake or warming bowl of soup?

We have external caterers on site, cooking up good quality, locally sourced food for our visitors, so be sure to make time for a coffee and a cake, a mouth watering lunch or afternoon snack whilst you’re vising us.

Carriers and slings are more suitable in the pumpkin patch for babies, pushchairs can be a struggle, especially of the weather isn’t on side!
