There’s family fun to be had on farms across the county from the beginning of October
It’s never particularly difficult to grab a pumpkin or two from your local shop or supermarket but the concept of finding and picking your own pumpkin has gained traction and popularity in recent years.
There’s something extremely satisfying about donning the wellington boots and heading out with the kids, family and friends to take in the fresh air and find your own perfect pumpkin to bring home and calve.
With the October 31 Halloween date fast approaching, here are three locations across the county offering this very experience and more over the coming weeks.
Please bear in mind Covid-19 restrictions may apply.
