This October, Cotswold Farm Park is inviting families to celebrate autumn with the return of its popular Pumpkin Patch, a highlight of the season that promises fun-filled activities, delicious treats and unforgettable experiences.
Fresh from receiving the TripAdvisor Traveller’s Choice Award 2025, the award-winning attraction near Guiting Power, Gloucestershire, has prepared a programme that blends traditional autumn festivities with its much-loved farmyard adventures.
The Pumpkin Patch will be open every Friday, Saturday and Sunday throughout October, as well as daily during half-term from 23 to 31 October. Visitors can pick and carve their own pumpkins, enjoy free spooky face painting (weekends and half-term), and make the most of creative selfie stations.
For those looking for evening entertainment, Pumpkins ’til Late will run on Saturdays (11, 18 and 25 October), featuring a Halloween woodland trail illuminated with pumpkins, live music, a bar, and local food trucks including The Grub Shed, Gurt Wings and Cotswold Cattle Co.
The Farm Park also provides plenty of indoor fun, from a large indoor sandpit and soft play to ride-on tractors. The Discovery Barn hosts twice-daily animal encounters at 10.30am and 2.30pm, ranging from guinea pig feeding and pig brushing to duckling demonstrations, chicken interactions and bee talks. Younger visitors can handle fluffy chicks and meet donkeys, calves and other farmyard favourites.
Outdoor attractions include bouncy pillows, play areas and tractor rides around usually inaccessible farming areas, available daily from 10.00am for £1 per person. Visitors can also explore the farm’s 50 rare and native animal breeds while learning more about sustainable farming practices.
Tickets are available online with a £2 saving for advance bookings. Prices start from £16.50 for adults, £12.50 for seniors and children, £7.50 for toddlers, and £1 for babies. Midweek pricing is available for families with little ones, with tickets starting from just £3.95 for toddlers and £8.95 for adults.
Special Pumpkin Patch Experience and Access-Only tickets are also available, including perks such as pumpkin carving and discounts in the gift shop and restaurant.
Cotswold Farm Park, run by farmer and TV presenter Adam Henson alongside Duncan Andrews, continues to deliver award-winning days out, preserving rare breeds while providing seasonal activities that bring the countryside to life for visitors of all ages.
