PUMPKIN PICKING PATCHES

Pumpkin picking has become a fun Halloween tradition with many families.  Some farms offer free entry and just pay for what you pick while others have an entry fee and activities for the 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.
