PUMPKIN PICKING PATCHES
Pumpkin picking has become a fun Halloween tradition with many families. Some farms offer free entry and you just pay for what you pick while others have paid activities for children to enjoy. Top tips: Wear wellies if it’s been raining and put a sheet or sack in the boot of the car in case the pumpkin is muddy.
