Once you’ve picked your pumpkins, you can have lots of fun carving them!

October is such a magical month – the weather is getting colder (who doesn’t love wrapping up warm?!), you’ve likely had one or two pumpkin spiced lattes and Halloween is on the horizon!

Whether you’re a die-hard Halloween fan, or a pumpkin carving novice, why not head to your nearest pumpkin patch and get picking! You can even maybe make some pumpkin pie or soup afterwards…

Windmill Animal Farm is perfect if you fancy travelling a little further afield for a whole day of farmyard fun. You can book tickets now as places are limited to keep people safe.
