Reddish Vale Farm, in Reddish Vale Country Park at Stockport, runs a ticketed Halloween Pumpkin Festival each October. You grab a wheelbarrow, choose pumpkins from a large pumpkin patch and can carve one in the on-site Carving Cavern, alongside spooky rides and activities. It is a structured family Halloween event rather than an open pick-your-own field, and tickets are booked in advance.
About Reddish Vale Farm
Reddish Vale Farm is a working farm park within Reddish Vale Country Park, near Stockport, with farm animals and pony rides. Each October it runs a ticketed Pumpkin Festival, with evening “Moonlight Pumpkin” sessions on some dates.
The Pumpkin Festival at Reddish Vale Farm
The festival is built around a large pumpkin patch where you choose your pumpkins with a wheelbarrow, with a Carving Cavern to carve them and extras like a spooky ride, archery and face painting. One pumpkin is usually included with each child’s ticket, with additional pumpkins sold by size. We have not been able to confirm whether the pumpkins are grown on site, so it is best thought of as a “choose from the patch” Halloween event.
Things to Do on the Day
- Choose pumpkins from the patch with a wheelbarrow
- Carving Cavern to carve your pumpkin
- Spooky ride, archery, face painting and potion-making
- Farm animals and pony rides
