Yes we have a dedicated indoor barn offering space to wash and carve your pumpkins on site – no mess at home!
No you can not. We are a non-smoking site and this extends to our pumpkin fields and carving tents.
Visitors can opt to hop on a free trailer ride to the pumpkin patch
Trailers are weather permitting.
Yes, indoor toilets with hot running water for hand washing
This year we have 𝗙𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗹-𝗦𝘁𝘆𝗹𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝗙𝗼𝗼𝗱. Treat yourself to burgers, doughnuts, and hot coffee from our catering vans.
This is an outdoor event based in a field – so we strongly suggest wellies or sturdy footwear and that you dress for the weather – including layers and waterproofs.
No. PYO Pumpkins is a standalone event – however, you can purchase tickets to visit PLAY@ Lower Drayton Farm, with its indoor and outdoor play areas, farm trailer ride (weather dependent), friendly animals, maize trail and more separately.
With the PYO Pumpkin Patch being based in a field with grass parking, access may be limited for wheelchairs and pushchairs. With young children we’d recommend bringing a baby sling or reins rather than the buggy (to avoid getting stuck). We will always do our best to accommodate all visitors with additional needs and will be situating some pumpkins in an area that is easy to access for them to ‘pick their own’. Disabled visitors and their carers can then carve their pumpkins together in the carving tent – however please bear in mind that excessive rain may make the site muddy and difficult to access.
No, car parking is free and on a weatherproof hardstanding surface.
We have been included as one of Twinkl’s Top Pumpkin Patch Picks for the spooky season.
