Pumpkins R Us is a family-run pick-your-own pumpkin patch in Warwickshire, a short drive from Kenilworth, Coventry and Leamington Spa. The family has grown its own pumpkins for more than twenty years, bringing every size, colour and shape you can imagine to a flat, easy-to-walk site with a Halloween shop, a cafe and funfair rides. It is one of the best-known pumpkin days out in the West Midlands.
About Pumpkins R Us
Run by the Beards family (your point of contact is Lucy), Pumpkins R Us grows all of its own pumpkins on a Warwickshire farm and trucks them to the picking field for the October season. It is a genuinely small, local business that has built a loyal following over two decades. In recent seasons the event has run at Dallas Burston Polo Club near Southam rather than its older Stoneleigh home, so it is worth checking the current venue when you book.
Pumpkin Picking at Pumpkins R Us
This is a pick-your-own patch with a huge range of varieties, from tiny munchkins and gourds to giant carving pumpkins, in oranges, whites, greens and the warty heirloom types. Pumpkins are laid out across a flat, matted site, so you can browse, pose for photos and fill a barrow without wading through mud. Pumpkins are priced individually by size and variety, from around £1 up to £25 or more for the largest, and staff will tell you the price before you pay at the exit.
Things to Do on the Day
- Halloween shop selling decorations, costumes and trick-or-treat supplies
- On-site cafe with hot and cold drinks, snacks and toasted marshmallows
- Funfair rides (charged separately, around £3 per ride)
