Pumpkin Picking at Malt Kiln Farm Shop
You pick your own from the homegrown patch, with thousands of pumpkins, gourds and squash. Entry is a charge per car (covering several people), with the pumpkins paid for separately. Pre-booking is strongly recommended, as walk-ins are not always admitted. There are also “Pumpkins & Pacas” alpaca-meet sessions in the patch. Dogs are not allowed in the picking field (food production).
Opening Times & Prices
The patch opens in October, centred on half-term, with exact dates released closer to the season (the farm checks the fields nearer the time, as the crop is weather-dependent).

The dates for the coming season had not been published at the time of writing.
