The Prettiest Pumpkin Patches Near London
Secretts
Join in on the fun at Secretts’ hallowed pumpkin week, so popular that last year, over 30,000 pumpkins were harvested at the event. Taking place from 26-31 October, the week involves pumpkin pickin’ trailer rides, plenty of fun for the kids and a delicious pumpkin themed menu including award winning Black Barn Sausages and pumpkin cakes. Secretts, Hurst Farm, Chapel Lane, Milford, Surrey, GUB 5HU
Priory Farm
Priory is putting on the dog this month with a line up exciting enough to get even the most fed up members of family to rally. A spooky trail from 18 October-4 November will have kids seeking out spooks and spiders in the deep dark wood on The Discovery Walk to claim horrid prizes. Pumpkin pickers will be pleased to know the farm has opened the Pumpkin Palace at the entrance to The Discovery Walk this year to ensure social distancing can be maintained.
