"'The fields at Crockford Bridge Farm are often too muddy for visitors to pick their own in early October (check before you go), but their annual outdoor Pumpkin Market is a much cleaner, still thrilling trip,' said Time Out editors. 'Pumpkins and gourds of every shape, size and colour are piled up on haybales in a display which runs from mid-October until Halloween,"
"In recent years, Brits have also started to curiously catch on to the American tradition of visiting a pumpkin patch at around the time the leaves start to fall. If you're not familiar with the concept, this is where you will walk around a quaint farm, probably take some cute pictures for Instagram, and pick your own supersized squash to take home to carve or eat."
Autumn prompts seasonal activities like watching Gilmore Girls reruns, wearing knitted jumpers, and planning Halloween costumes. Visiting pumpkin patches has grown in popularity in Britain, with visitors walking farm fields, taking photos, and picking large squashes to carve or eat. Crockford Bridge Farm in Surrey is crowned the best pumpkin patch for 2025 and offers an outdoor Pumpkin Market alongside pick-your-own produce. Early October fields can be muddy, but the Pumpkin Market runs from mid-October until Halloween with pumpkins piled on haybales and weekend family entertainment. Gourd picking runs October 4–19 with entrance at £6 per person, and other options include Hobbledown Heath, Rogate Pumpkin Patch, and Stanhill Farm.
