The Pumpkin Experience at Brocksbushes

Photo areas here run to a witches area, a pumpkin house and, new for 2026, a monster pumpkin castle, all set around a field the farm team planted with over 155,000 pumpkins this summer. The Pumpkin Experience opens on 3 October and runs on the first two weekends of the month, then every day from 16 to 31 October.

Pumpkin carving returns for 2026, with carving kits available to buy at an additional cost, and marshmallow toasting is on site. Carnival rides and face painting run on a pay as you go basis, so you can spend as much or as little on top of the entry price as you like.

Younger families are looked after separately. The new Baby Brocks Pumpkin Patch has its own dedicated activities and runs from 10am until 2pm each day, and dogs are not allowed in that area. Twilight sessions on Friday 16 and Friday 23 October only stay open until 8pm and add live music.

Food runs from pizzas and fried chicken to churros, drinks and afternoon tea, and the site also has an award-winning farm shop, a tea room and a play barn. Tickets must be booked online in advance. Visitors are asked to dress for the weather, wear sturdy shoes or wellies and be prepared for mud. Dogs come along on Woof Weekend, Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 October, and on Woof Wednesdays on 21 and 28 October, when they are welcome on leads.
