Roves Farm at Sevenhampton, near Swindon in Wiltshire, is a family farm park that runs a Halloween pumpkin event each October. The pumpkins are set out in a barn rather than a growing field: you choose from hundreds of pre-picked pumpkins and carve on site, alongside the farm’s animals and play. It is a family farm-park day out rather than a pick-from-the-field patch, booked in advance.
