Thank you for coming to read about 5 Fantastic Pumpkin Patches in Surrey and West Sussex. Updated for 2023.

They can include activities such as pumpkin carving, hook a duck, coconut shys and shows.

Summary
Pumpkin Patches are good fun and great for getting in the Halloween spirit. Plus they are great for photos! Remember wellies, as it can get muddy and wear clothes appropriate for the weather and you’ll have a fantastic time.
Also, from years of going to these things, the earlier the better – the best pumpkins go quickly and if you go on the last day (which we have done before!) it’s much harder to find a nice one.
Fancy continuing the Halloween activities in the comfort of your own home, check out this great post on Halloween activities you can do at home.
