Healey’s Cornish Cyder Farm at Penhallow, near Perranporth in Cornwall, runs a Halloween event each October that includes picking a pumpkin from its own patch. You board a vintage tractor that takes you out to the pumpkin patch to choose your pumpkin, with carving tools provided afterwards. It is part of a wider cider-farm visitor attraction, and entry is by a Halloween event ticket rather than drop-in picking.
About Healey’s Cornish Cyder Farm
Healey’s Cornish Cyder Farm is a well-known cider producer and visitor attraction at Penhallow, near Perranporth on the north Cornwall coast. Alongside its cider, farm shop and tours, it grows its own pumpkins and runs a Halloween event in October.
Pumpkin Picking at Healey’s
As part of the Halloween event you ride a vintage tractor out to Healey’s own pumpkin patch and pick your own pumpkin, then carve it back at the farm with tools provided. The event also includes a spooky treasure trail and farm admission. Adults can swap their pumpkin for a pint of cider instead. This is an event-ticket experience, not a free-entry walk-in patch.
