Pick your own Pumpkins at Millets Farm
About Pick your own Pumpkins at Millets Farm
Millets Farm’s pumpkin field is set to open again this Autumn, offering families the chance to pick plump pumpkins, explore spooky props, and enjoy a fun-filled seasonal experience.
With a range of Halloween-themed decorations and plenty of photo opportunities, visitors can grab a wheelbarrow and choose pumpkins of all shapes, sizes, and colours—perfect for cooking or carving.
The pumpkins are homegrown at Millets Farm. Early in the season, visitors may see the original stalks where pumpkins were harvested, and the patch is regularly topped up from other parts of the farm to ensure a plentiful supply for all.
Special sessions are also available, including SEND sessions with reduced noise and exclusive early access, and a Dog Day for four-legged friends.
