Hasty’s Adventure Farm at Clacton-on-Sea in Essex runs an annual “Pumpkin Week” each October half-term, as part of its year-round children’s farm park. You choose a pumpkin from the patch and there is a Happy Ghost Trail, spooky games and the farm’s usual attractions. It is a family Halloween day out rather than a traditional pick-your-own field, and entry is booked in advance.
About Hasty’s Adventure Farm
Hasty’s is a children’s adventure farm and park at Clacton-on-Sea, open through the year with animals, play and indoor and outdoor attractions. Each October half-term it adds a Halloween “Pumpkin Week” to the day out.
Pumpkin Week at Hasty’s
During Pumpkin Week you head to a pumpkin patch area, choose a pumpkin and take it home, with the option of staff carving it on the premium ticket. There is a Happy Ghost Trail, pumpkin selfie areas and spooky mini games, plus the farm’s usual attractions. It is a themed event rather than a pick-from-the-field farm, so the pumpkins are part of the day out.
Things to Do on the Day
- Choose a pumpkin from the patch area
- A Happy Ghost Trail and spooky mini games
- Pumpkin selfie areas and photo spots
- The farm park’s usual animals and play attractions
