The ultimate guide to Pumpkin picking North West 2025
If you’d like to go pumpkin picking in North West England then read on because I have rounded up all the best pumpkin farms in the North West for 2025. For many families, it’s fast becoming a new family tradition to have a day out picking a pumpkin at this time of year. Find more great Family events North West here.
There are many reasons why picking your own pumpkin locally is gaining popularity. For one, you are buying local, seasonal produce and supporting local farmers. Another reason is that you can make it into a full family day out over October half term as many of these farms have other activities on as well. Many families also enjoy taking family photos in pumpkin patches.
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.
