What makes the perfect pumpkin? Do you like to find the largest one, the roundest one or a gnarled one?
Take your pick of the Doddington Pumpkin Patch this October with thirty different varieties of pumpkins, squash and gourds to choose from.
Enter via the Gatehouse in front of the Elizabethan Hall and follow our spooky walk through the Kitchen Garden to the Pumpkin Patch. Stop along the way to learn some fun facts and take your Instagram worthy photos.
Wellies are essential as it can get muddy. Halloween fancy dress is encouraged.
Patch open 1-31 October, 10am-4pm daily, while stocks last. Free entry, pay for what you pick. Prices start from £3 dependent on size.
*Dogs are not permitted in the Pumpkin Patch but are welcome on leads through the Kitchen Garden and to the Pumpkin Patch gate*
Golden Bottoms
Keep an eye out for golden bottoms! We’ll be hiding some golden bottomed pumpkins in the patch throughout October. If you find one you’ll win the pumpkin, a family ticket to Christmas in the Hall and a 4ft Doddington homegrown Christmas tree so keep your eyes peeled!
Make a day of it and visit our Farm Shop, Bauble Barn and enjoy seasonal treats in our Farm Shop Café or Grain Store Café.
