Where to go Pumpkin Picking in the North of England



UPDATED FOR 2024 Please check back for more farms to be added and dates to be updated once I have them



We have been going Pumpkin picking for years now and it is something we look forward to every year.

We do tend to head to one of these pick your own places from our list every year as we just love going, but this year we are thinking of trying a few different places. You see when it comes to Halloween we don't just do one pumpkin, we do lots. We don't just carve them and pop candles in we love to make Pumpkin Soup too, although the smaller ones are much tastier for this. Here is the recipe we swear by (I promise it is delicious!)



Did you know that most of my content is brought to you with no financial incentive? If you appreciate my posts, why not buy me a virtual coffee?
