Pumpkin Fest at Strawberry Fields Lifton

The ticket here buys a festival rather than a field. Entry covers all the displays and photo opportunities, live music and three entertainment shows through the day, so there is a rhythm to the visit beyond wandering and choosing. The pumpkin patch is a large one, and a maize maze sits alongside it.

Pumpkins are priced according to size, with sizing stations placed around the site so you can work out what you are holding before you reach the till. Food and drink are extra, as is the barrel train, which is charged on top of the entry ticket.

Arrival is by timed slot, published in 15 minute intervals through the morning and early afternoon, though anytime tickets are sold for visitors who would rather not commit to one. The venue does not publish a closing time, so it is worth checking when you need to be off the site if the day is being planned around it.

Families with very young children and those visiting with a carer are well served. Children under one come free and do not need a ticket at all, and complimentary carers tickets are offered so that everyone can get round the site comfortably. Dogs and cats are both permitted as long as they stay on leads.

Parking is free and plentiful, with stewards directing cars on the day and disabled parking available. A separate evening event, Pumpkin Nights, runs on Friday 16 and Saturday 17 October 2026 with its own ticket and its own price.
