This October half term from 21 – 29 October, head to the Pumpkin Patch at Tatton Park Farm, where you can pick a perfect pumpkin and meet your favourite farmyard friends.

Head to the 40-acre farm where you can say hello to all the farmyard friends; sheep, cows, horses, pigs and many more new and old rare-breed animals. Play in the woodland play area, explore the den building and kids trails, all created to bring children’s imaginations to life.

After the farmyard visit, head to the Pumpkin Patch field where you can seek out and choose your very own pumpkin to take home and carve into it a pumpkin-tastic spooky design of your choice for Halloween. You may also wish to use the rest of the pumpkin for a delicious pumpkin soup, or a tasty pumpkin cake!

You’ll be picking your very own pumpkins at the Pumpkin Patch at Tatton Park Farm, so prepare to get messy and dress appropriately for muddy, outdoor fun. Due to cobbled ground in some areas, the Tatton Park Farm team ask that you wear sturdy footwear.
