The Pumpkin Patch at Wolvey is a pick-your-own pumpkin field near Wolvey, between Hinckley and Coventry on the Warwickshire and Leicestershire border. Run by a local grower, it opens each October with a big field of pumpkins to pick, refreshments and photo opportunities, and a share of the entry fee going to a local children’s hospice. Entry is by pre-booked timed slot.
About The Pumpkin Patch at Wolvey
The patch is run by a local salad and vegetable grower as a seasonal October event, and has become a popular autumn outing for families around Hinckley, Nuneaton and Coventry. It is a pick-your-own field rather than a large themed attraction, with the focus on the pumpkins themselves plus a few extras to make a morning or afternoon of it.
Pumpkin Picking at Wolvey
This is a genuine pick-your-own across a large field, with thousands of pumpkins and gourds in a range of shapes and sizes. You browse the field and choose your own, paying for the pumpkins on top of the entry fee. Visitor numbers are capped per time slot, so it does not get overwhelmingly busy, but it does mean booking ahead is important.
Things to Do on the Day
- Pick-your-own pumpkins from a large field
