Overview

• Regional listings across Suffolk, Yorkshire, Cambridgeshire, the West Midlands, Surrey and the South West confirm weekend openings from October 4–5, with many patches operating daily from roughly October 25 to 31.
• Ticketing and pricing differ widely, with examples including Milton Maze entry at £9.95 per person and Rusty’s at Worzals offering a ticket that includes a pumpkin, while some venues such as Undley Farm and Freshfields advertise free entry; several sites urge advance booking for busy dates.
• Stock and selection vary by venue, from more than 60,000 pumpkins at Milton Maze to around 60 varieties at Undley Farm and 20-plus at Rougham Estate, with some patches charging per pumpkin or by weight.
• After-dark options are expanding, including Pumpkins R Us evening sessions near Southam, Avon Valley’s Night Picking from October 3, The Pumpkin Place night slots from October 11–31, and Tulley’s Pumpkin Nights in West Sussex.
• Experiences go beyond picking, with Crockford Bridge’s Willy Wonka‑inspired festival (Oct 25–31), Secretts’ activity‑packed pumpkin week, and The Barn at Berryfields adding a synthetic ice rink, axe‑throwing, street food and a bar.
