The Pumpkin Patch

YOU can find this family-run pumpkin patch in Bewholme East Yorkshire.

There are pick your own events through October with plenty of activities. A reviewer wrote: “What a fantastic family experience this was today. The organisation, imagination and creativity needs to be applauded.

“Not only was there a piano in the midst of a sea of sunflowers but a huge swing and other surprises as we wandered around the fields.

“As well as being able to pick pumpkins and magnificent sunflowers there were lots of activities for children. The greatest fun was the tractor experience, firing water guns at Halloween Targets.

“What a marvellous idea this is and one that the family can enjoy together. Quality refreshments were available and the Brownies and Pizza were delicious.
