Britain's What's On Event Guide
Star shaped pumpkins come to Burton farm park
Pumpkin village returns to a Staffordshire farm bringing its largest variety of ornamental pickable pumpkin patches yet.
The National Forest Adventure Farm, in Postern Road, Tatenhill, is launching Pumpkin Village on Saturday 4th October bringing Instagram ready autumn fun with boutique street stalls, festoon lighting, pumpkin towers and acoustic sounds for autumnal days out.
Following on from the success of their first Pumpkin Village last year, the farm park is bringing the concept, which is relatively new in the UK, back. The event, which is inspired by some of the world’s largest pumpkin farms, will include its wooden Pumpkin House and crate tower, teacup ride, entertainers, photo friendly activities and a new for 2025 mini woodland trail.
This year the farmers have also been growing greater varieties of autumnal squashes with over 35 varieties from giant traditional orange pumpkins or baby boo white gourds to blue, star shaped and warty goblin pumpkins all sprouting in the Staffordshire fields.
Brothers Tom and Ivor Robinson found inspiration for the family friendly event after visiting some of the world’s largest pumpkin farms in Illinois and Chicago.
Families can pick as many pumpkins as they wish from the 7-acre onsite pumpkin patch with the farmers growing a further 18 acres of pumpkin fields on neighbouring land. Ticket prices start from £5 with visitors paying for any pumpkins they take home.
