WHERE TO FIND ALL THE FUN LOCALLY THIS HALLOWEEN
PYO Pumpkins at Lower Drayton Farm

Autumn wouldn't be complete without a trip to Staffordshire's biggest pumpkin patch – and this year's event at Lower Drayton Farm promises more pumpkins, more fun, and more magical memories than ever before!
Wander through acres of pumpkin fields to pick your perfect pumpkin – with one included in every ticket – or, if you'd rather stay cosy, head to the indoor Pumpkin Village for a ready-to-go selection. Little farmers can explore the pick-your-own veg patch, make the most of the pumpkin patch play area, meet the farm's friendly animals, and even graduate from the magical Witch School. With a massive indoor carving barn and tasty seasonal treats from the pop-up Pumpkin Café, it's the ultimate autumn day out – whatever the weather.
Dates: Saturday 5 & Sunday 6 October, then daily from Saturday 11 – Friday 31 October. Please note: tickets include a pumpkin and PYO veg but do not include entry to PLAY@.
Special Events:
Pumpkins in the Dark (Sat 18 Oct, from 5pm): After-dark pumpkin picking with live music, spooky characters, witch school, fast food and a licensed bar – festival vibes guaranteed!
Pup-kin Patch (Fri 31 Oct): For one day only, pooches are welcome in the patch – snap your cutest paw-some pumpkin photos!
Tickets are strictly limited and must be booked online in advance. Save 10% on your booking with code PUMPKIN at checkout.
