On the run up to 31st October we’re getting our spook on and becoming very excited about Halloween.
Pumpkin picking has become a tradition we’ve picked up in recent times from our American friends across the pond and is growing more and more in popularity, with this year set to be the biggest yet. Being in Yorkshire means we have access to an abundance of pumpkin fields as farmers and farm shops very kindly open up their businesses to us.
*please note, the below information was correct at the time of writing, but always check on the farm’s website and social media pages for updates before visiting.One of the most famous patches in the area, Spilmans returns on October 2 with the opening of their 10-acre pumpkin patch. Featuring over 80,000 pumpkins, along with gourds and squashes, you’re sure to find something that suits your carving needs. Pre book tickets as soon as you can as this is always a sell out event.
Head down here from late September where the Pick Your Own Pumpkin plot will be open to visitors. Wheelbarrows are available on site so you don’t have to carry the giant ones!
