Pumpkin Boutique

Tuesday 20th - Saturday October 31st

10am - 5pm

It's not all about picking from the fields. Our homegrown, pre picked pumpkins are available from mid-October.

Our pumpkins are carefully hand-cut with as much of their stalk intact as possible, giving them a more natural, traditional finish than machine-harvested supermarket varieties.

There's no need to book for the pumpkin boutique, it's open to the public until we sell out!.

We sell a wide variety of Pumpkins and Squashes in our Pumpkin boutique with all things pumpkin. Towards the end of October popular shapes and sizes start to sell out, we recommend visiting early!

Pumpkin Festival FAQ's

For information on our Pumpkin crop including tips on how to care for your Pumpkin, please visit our Pumpkin Crop Page

Is the Pumpkin Festival suitable for younger children?

Our Pumpkin Festival and the entertainment on site is best appreciated by those aged 4 or older. Those wishing to bring toddlers are welcome to do so at your own discretion, however a ticket is required for all children over 1.

Can I buy a Pumpkin at the Pumpkin Festival?

Yes, our Pumpkin Boutique is open every day during the Pumpkin Festival selling pre-harvested pumpkins. Please note you cannot pick directly from the fields during the Pumpkin Festival (please book Pumpkin Picking for this).

Do I need to book in advance?

Yes, our Pumpkin Festival is very popular and regularly sells out, we strongly recommend booking ahead to avoid disapointment. We have a limited number of early-bird tickets!

Can I just turn up and pay on the door?

No. Whilst there may be a small amount of 'no shows' and cancellations available each day, we don't recommend counting on this.

Is there parking available?

Yes, there is plenty of parking available on The Farm. Please do not park at the Garden Centre car park which is a separate business with its own parking restrictions.

Click here for directions and travel information.

Can I bring a picnic?

No, food and drink may not be bought to The Farm. We've tried our best to accommodate this in the past, but sadly have been overwhelmed with litter. Food and drink are available to purchase in Crockford's Corner and street food vendors.

Can I bring my dog?

No, sadly dogs are not allowed into the Pumpkin Fields or the Pumpkin Festival. It is a very busy space with many highly excited young children. 

Can I bring a buggy?

Yes, you are very welcome to bring your buggy to the Pumpkin Festival

Can I carve my Pumpkin?

Yes, there is a dedicated carving area at the Pumpkin Festival where you can carve your own Pumpkin. (Sorry only Pumpkins purchased from us, you can't bring your own). Child-friendly carving kits are available to use or purchase to take home.

What if it rains?

The show will go on! Wet weather is part and parcel of life on the farm, particularly in the last week of October. 

 Tickets are non refundable whatever the weather. We're unable to re-book your tickets should it rain on the day of your visit.

In our experience there's no such thing as poor weather, simply poor preparation. Over the years, thousands of customers who've come prepared and suitably dressed enjoy our events, whatever the weather!

Do you offer a carer discount?

As a small farming business, holding a single, week-long event, we don’t have the resources to fund the discretionary discounts offered by dedicated Tourist Attractions.

Carer passes are available where there's a need for additional carers beyond the number of adults that would ordinarily accompany their children.

for further information please email general@crockfordbridgefarm.co.uk

Met Office weather warnings

We will take a decision on whether it is safe to open based on actual, rather than forecasted conditions.

In the unlikely event we're forced to close the Pumpkin Festival due to extreme weather this will be publicised on Social Media and via email to ticket holders.

Customers should check with us directly before assuming we're closed. Tickets will only be re-booked or refunded in the unlikely event we close The Pumpkin Festival.
