Pick Your Own Pumpkins is back at Brocksbushes in 2020 and will be bigger and better than ever.

They’ve been growing pumpkins on every spare inch of the farm after it was so popular last year. With loads of different pumpkin varieties be sure to put it in your diary.

Pre-booking will be essential so that they can control numbers for social distancing. Unfortunately, they can’t offer pumpkin carving this year, due to COVID-19 restrictions, however there will be lots of other pumpkin fun to be had!
