Goodall’s Strawberry Farm at Lymington is a long-established pick-your-own fruit farm on the edge of the New Forest that reopens each October half-term for pick-your-own pumpkins. Best known for its summer strawberries and raspberries, it turns the autumn visit into a small Halloween event with the pumpkin field joined by children’s activities. It is a genuine pick-your-own, though worth noting it opens for pumpkins only during the October half-term week.
