Carving a pumpkin is a firm Halloween tradition, but going to pick your own pumpkin at local farms is becoming an increasingly popular day out for families. Here’s a quick round up of places you can choose your own pumpkin, with some venues offering to let you carve there, saving you the clean up job at home!
Many of these venues are incredibly popular, don’t leave it too late to book/visit. If you want to wait until closer to Halloween to carve your pumpkin, keep it safely stored somewhere cool, dry and dark and it will be ready when you are.
Visit Reddish Farm’s Halloween Festival for pumpkin picking, haunted tractor rides, shows, pumpkin carving and loads more! One pumpkin is included per paying child.
