Wurzels Pumpkin Farm is a dedicated pick-your-own pumpkin patch at Ecclesfield, just north of Sheffield, and a well-known local fixture each October. The team grows all of its own pumpkins from seed, and the patch is a friendly, manageable size that suits younger children and a shorter visit. Entry is free and you simply pay for the pumpkins you pick.
About Wurzels Pumpkin Farm
Wurzels is a small, family-run pumpkin patch off Jumble Lane in Ecclesfield, on the northern edge of Sheffield. The pumpkins are grown on site from seed each year, and the patch has built a loyal following as one of the few dedicated pumpkin-only spots in the area. The farm is run mainly through its Facebook page, where opening dates and updates are posted each season, and after a busy 2025 season the team has said it plans to return again.
Pumpkin Picking at Wurzels
This is a genuine pick-your-own: you head into the field and choose your own pumpkins, with a range from small decorative ones up to large carving pumpkins. It is a smaller patch than some of the big commercial operations, which many families find easier going with little ones. Hay-bale displays make for good photos, and there is usually a handful of extras to keep children entertained.
Things to Do on the Day
- Pick-your-own pumpkins straight from the field
- Hay-bale displays and photo opportunities
- The Coffee Cabin for hot drinks and milkshakes
- Simple games and activities for children
Opening Times & Prices
The patch opens through October, usually up to and including Halloween, with hours posted on the farm’s Facebook page each year. The booking arrangements have varied from season to season, with some dates on timed slots and others walk-in, so it is worth checking the latest Facebook posts before you go. The dates for the coming season had not been published at the time of writing.
Entry and parking are free, and you pay only for the pumpkins you pick. As a guide, in 2024 pumpkins ranged from around £3 for the smallest up to about £15 for the largest; prices for the coming season may differ, so check on the day. Both cash and card are accepted.
