Churchfields PYO Pumpkin Patch

This year the Pumpkin Patch at Churchfields Farm has doubled in size, with over 12,000 pumpkins planted across the fields — the biggest patch the farm has ever grown. Visitors are free to wander through the rows, taking their time to find the pumpkin that's exactly right, whether that's a tiny one for little hands or a giant showstopper for the doorstep.

Along the way, there are seasonal photo spots dressed for autumn, a marshmallow toasting area, and a food marquee serving hot chocolate, warm treats and a cosy Crumble Corner — perfect for taking the chill off between wandering the patch and choosing your pumpkin.

Admission tickets cover entry to the Pumpkin Patch, the autumn photo opportunities, the food marquee and the marshmallow toasting area. Pumpkins are priced individually from £3 depending on size, and are not included in the ticket. Well-behaved dogs are welcome on a lead with their own ticket, and free parking is available close by.

As this is a working farm field, the ground can be muddy and uneven, particularly after rain, so sturdy footwear is recommended. Tickets are limited, so booking ahead is advised.
