You must purchase a ticket in advance to attend this event. Everyone needs a ticket except under 2s, on-duty carers and dogs! Make sure you book the correct date/time, as we are unable to offer refunds or transfers. Before booking, we recommend reading our Terms & Conditions and FAQs.

Your ticket grants you access to the Pumpkin Patch, themed displays, the Witch's Wood area, carving area and on-site parking. Please note your ticket does not include a pumpkin. You can purchase as many pumpkins as you like on the day.
TIME SLOTS
When booking, you’ll need to select an arrival time slot for the Pumpkin Patch. This time just indicates when you should arrive at the field.
If you’re booking the last slot of the day, we recommend arriving promptly at the start of that time slot. The Pumpkin Patch closes 30 minutes after the final time slot ends. For example: if the last slot of the day is 3 - 4pm, the field will close at 4.30pm.
Feel free to arrive earlier than your selected time to visit the rest of Farrington's before your Pumpkin Patch arrival slot. You are welcome to visit the Farm Shop, Cafe or Playbarn before heading to the Pumpkin Patch.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
To help you prepare for your trip to the Pumpkin Patch, here are a few important things to keep in mind:
-
The Pumpkin Patch is not suitable for wheelchairs or pushchairs generally, while we do put pedestrian trackway, the event is held in a field which can be difficult to navigate wheelchairs and pushchairs.
-
Wheelbarrows are available to borrow on the day to help carry your pumpkins (subject to availability).
-
Our pumpkins are not sprayed for weeds so you'll find more than just pumpkins in the patch! This is normal, but please wear long trousers, long-sleeved tops and wellies to protect yourselves. Please only pick pumpkins, and ensure children are supervised at all times.
-
Well-behaved dogs are welcome in the Pumpkin Patch, but must be kept on a lead at all times. Please clean up after your dog and use the bins provided.
-
This is an all-weather event, and the field can get muddy after rain, so please dress appropriately for the conditions on the day.

Smoking is not permitted in the Pumpkin Patch.
