PUMPKIN PICKING PATCHES
Pumpkin picking has become a fun Halloween tradition with many families across Dorset. 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.
