About Piglets Adventure Farm
Piglets is a family farm-park attraction at Towthorpe, near York, with animals, indoor and outdoor play and a maize maze. Its October Spooktacular wraps a real, on-site pumpkin patch (around 12,000 pumpkins, varieties including Ghost and Harvest Moon) into the day.
The Pumpkin Festival at Piglets
There is a real pumpkin patch on site that you select from, with each paying child’s ticket including a voucher for a small pumpkin and larger pumpkins available to buy. There is an undercover carving marquee, plus stage and magic shows, a barrel train and animal encounters. It is a farm-park festival, so the pumpkin comes bundled with admission rather than as a stand-alone pay-per-pumpkin field.

Festival admission applies (general farm prices have been around £11 to £12 per person), including a small pumpkin per child, with extra pumpkins paid for. Booking online in advance is required.
