Top Tips for visiting a Pumpkin Patch
- This is an outdoor event so dress for the weather. Wellies are a good idea because the field can get muddy.
- Wear long trousers and sleeves if you can. Most of the pumpkin patches are not sprayed so there will be insects and weeds.
- The pumpkin stalks are prickly so wearing gloves may be a good idea.
- Some pumpkin fields can be difficult for wheelchairs and buggies, especially in wet weather, so check accessibility before visiting.
- Not all pumpkin patches allow dogs, check before you bring them. Also, some patches may require a ticket for them!
- Many farms sell the pumpkins by size or weight, check before you let the kids loose!
- Always double check the pumpkin patch website before you leave for opening times. Also, some require booking a time slot online beforehand.
FAQs: Pumpkin Picking in Somerset
When’s the best time to go pumpkin picking?
Usually from late September through to the end of October. Don’t leave it too late though, go earlier in October for the best selection of pumpkins, as the supply is limited and demand is high, especially around the October half-term.
Do you need to book pumpkin picking in Somerset?
Many pumpkin patches require or recommend booking in advance, particularly at weekends and during October half term. Some smaller farms may allow walk-ins, but always check the venue’s latest booking information before setting off.
How much does pumpkin picking cost in Somerset?
Prices vary depending on the pumpkin patch. Some charge an entry fee, while others charge separately for pumpkins or activities. Larger Halloween events can cost more than a simple pick-your-own pumpkin field, so check what’s included before booking.
Can you take dogs to pumpkin patches in Somerset?
Dog policies vary between pumpkin patches. Some farms welcome dogs in the fields, while others don’t allow them due to livestock, crowds or food areas. Always check the individual venue’s rules before bringing your dog.
Please note, every effort has been made to ensure that all information is correct at the time of publishing this post, but please check the venues website before travelling, as events may be amended or cancelled at short notice. Many of these events need pre-booking.
