This post is part of a series of posts on all the places where you can pick pumpkins across the North West. Find all the posts here – pumpkin picking in the North West.
Booking is required for most events below and the tickets for some in 2025 are on sale now!
I’ve done my best to add the details of all these events accurately and keep them up to date but I strongly advise you to click through and check on the organiser’s website to ensure the dates, locations times are correct. Events maybe changed or cancelled and I will not necessarily be aware of this. Links are providers so you can confirm all details for yourself before travelling or booking. Some of these events require pre-booking so I’d recommend you do that as soon as you decide you want to in order to avoid disappointment.
I will be continuing to update this post right up until the end of October. If you know of an event I’m not aware of then please email me at info@northwestforkids.co.uk
