Cantref is a family adventure farm at Upper Cantref Farm, near Brecon, with farm animals, indoor soft play, a sledge ride and tractor rides. Each October it runs a Pumpkin Festival with an on-site pumpkin patch.
The Pumpkin Festival at Cantref
During the daytime festival, each child picks one free pumpkin from the on-site patch and can carve it, with larger pumpkins and gourds available to buy. The pumpkin comes as part of farm-park admission rather than a stand-alone pay-per-pumpkin field. There are carnival games, swamp-boat rides, marshmallow toasting and Halloween shows, plus separate evening “Pumpkin Nights”.
Opening Times & Prices
The festival runs across October (in 2025, 4 October to 2 November, weekends 10:30am to 5pm plus the late-October half-term). Farm-park admission applies (around £17 per person in recent years, under-93cm children cheaper, with an early-bird discount for booking ahead), including one pumpkin per child.
