About The Cornish Maize Maze and Fun Farm
The Cornish Maize Maze and Fun Farm is at Smeaton Farm, Pillaton, about four miles north of Saltash in Cornwall. As well as its summer maize maze, it runs a pick-your-own pumpkin patch and farm activities each October.
Pumpkin Picking at the Fun Farm
You pick your own pumpkins from the patch on the farm, with the pumpkins priced separately (around £1 small, £2.50 medium, £4 large). Entry is a low charge of around £5 per person (under-2s free) that also gives you the farm activities: a Halloween-themed maze with a quiz, rare-breed animals, trampolines, swings, a bale tower, giant games and a sandpit. Because entry and pumpkins are charged separately, it works as a genuine pick-your-own with farm fun added on.
Opening Times & Prices
The patch runs through October (in 2025, the first two weekends then daily from 18 to 31 October), 10:30am to 5pm. Entry is around £5 per person, with the pumpkins paid for separately by size. The exact dates and prices for the coming season had not been confirmed at the time of writing, so check the farm’s website.
