The Pumpkin House at Brookhill Farm, Thursford, near Fakenham in Norfolk, is a “pumpkin picking with a twist”: you choose your pumpkins from inside a wooden house decorated with over a thousand pumpkins, rather than from an open field. With an autumn market, food trucks and family activities, it is a popular north Norfolk Halloween outing, free to enter.
About The Pumpkin House
The Pumpkin House runs at Brookhill Farm on the A148 between Fakenham and Holt, a farm that also runs a summer maize maze and adventure golf. Its autumn attraction is a decorated wooden “pumpkin house” filled with pumpkins to choose from.
The Pumpkin House
Rather than picking from a field, you select your pumpkins from inside a wooden house decorated with more than a thousand pumpkins, priced by size. We have not been able to confirm whether the pumpkins are grown at the farm, so it is best thought of as a “choose your own” pumpkin experience. There is no entry fee and no booking required (except on a special Medieval Weekend), with an autumn market, food trucks, face painting and gourds.
