About Pumpkin Picking at Ridgeway Farm

There's no better way to embrace the season and get into the spooky spirit than by spending a day at Ridgeway Farm, where pumpkin picking becomes a cherished family tradition. Gather 'round, as we embark on a delightful journey through this pumpkin paradise.
Ridgeway Farm's Pumpkin Festival
The pumpkin festival is back - for the 5th year in a row!
Ridgeway Farm is a hidden gem in Blackpool that's worth the drive from wherever you call home. With its sprawling fields, picturesque barns, and rows upon rows of plump, orange pumpkins, this place feels like something straight out of a storybook. As you approach, you'll be greeted by the friendly scarecrow guardians that stand sentry at the entrance, welcoming you to a day filled with laughter and adventure...
Grab your wellies and wheelbarrow and walk through rows and rows of varieties of pumpkins ready for the picking! You'll have plenty of choice on what pumpkin to pick, maybe even too much choice! From vibrant oranges and knobbly gourds, to white ghost pumpkins and green ones too! All shapes and sizes too, whether you like small and petite, pint-sized pumpkins perfect for little hands or colossal giants that practically beg for creative carving, there's a pumpkin for every member of the family!
Scenic Strolls and Photo Ops
While the primary mission at Ridgeway Farm is pumpkin picking, there's so much more to enjoy. Take a leisurely stroll through the picturesque fields, and you'll be treated to breathtaking backdrops of pumpkins galore!
With the vibrant fall foliage as your backdrop, you won't be able to resist snapping a few family photos to commemorate the day. Don't forget to pose with your chosen pumpkins; these snapshots are the stuff of cherished memories!
Activities for Every Age
Ridgeway Farm isn't just about the pumpkin patch, it's a full-day adventure. The kids will have a blast navigating the friendly maize maze, their laughter filling the air as they race through the twists and turns.
For those looking to test their aim, the pumpkin slingshots provide endless entertainment. Load up a pumpkin, take aim, and let it fly through the air, sending it hurtling toward a target with a satisfying SPLAT!
