Autumn is just around the corner and the events team at Bell’s Pumpkin Patch are hard at work creating fantastic new features and displays for visitors to enjoy at their 2025 event! Taking place on 11th, 13th & 18th, 19th and 26th-31st October 2025 from 9am-5pm, the patch offers a fun filled day out for everyone!
Visitors can pick their own pumpkins from the two large on site patches full of original orange pumpkins to specialist squashes to great gourds of all different shapes and sizes! Organisers have stated there are over 200 varieties grown on site, which can also be found in the covered Pumpkin Market in Bell’s Gardening Outlet along with recipe cards and display inspiration. Plus, carve your pumpkin with us and leave the mess behind in our undercover carving tent!
The Pumpkin Patch will host a selection of brand new photo stations for 2025, so keep an eye on their social media pages for sneak peaks! The displays are full of photo opportunities for all ages – make sure you get that important selfie for your socials.
Bell’s Pumpkin Patch is home to the UK’s largest pumpkin cannon, the pumptastic master blaster! Take the opportunity to fire the cannon for charity, as the event has raised over £20,000 over the years shooting wonky pumpkins across the fields.
Children can enjoy an assault course, ride on pedal tractors, the tiny tots area, bouncy inflatable pumpkin and potato catapults and garden games to challenge every family member. As well as the bounce and climb area full of hay bales to explore and the Singing Pumpkins too – all included in your admission tickets; along with complimentary cheek art, with our team painting youngster’s faces free of charge!
