Pumpkin Picking in Wales: Your Guide to the Best Pumpkin Patches and Family Days Out
Autumn in Wales is a season of colour, countryside walks, and cosy family adventures. As the leaves turn and the air grows crisp, pumpkin picking has become one of the most popular things to do in October. Across the country, farms and pumpkin patches in Wales open their gates to visitors looking for the perfect pumpkin to carve, cook, or display. Whether you live in South Wales, Mid Wales, or North Wales, there’s a local patch waiting to welcome you for a day of fresh air, fun, and seasonal charm.
Pumpkin picking in Wales isn’t just about finding a pumpkin. It’s about the full autumn experience. Many Welsh farms now offer family-friendly attractions such as tractor rides, maize mazes, petting zoos, face painting, and farm shops filled with local produce. You’ll also find cafes serving homemade cakes, hot chocolate, and autumn treats that make the visit even more special. Some patches are peaceful and rustic, perfect for a relaxed stroll through the fields, while others host lively Halloween events with twinkling lights, music, and evening entertainment.
In recent years, pumpkin farms across Wales have transformed into full harvest festivals. At Manorafon Farm Park in North Wales, the popular Pumpkin Fest Nights combine pumpkin picking with glowing displays and live performances. In the Vale of Glamorgan, Forage Farm’s pick-your-own pumpkins come with tractor rides and a “wacky patch” of unusual gourds. Over in Mid Wales, Porth Farm offers a laid-back day out surrounded by beautiful rural scenery, while Pembrokeshire Pumpkin Farm in the west goes all out with craft markets, themed trails, and a spooky barn experience.
For those searching for “pumpkin patches near me” or planning a “family day out in Wales,” this guide brings everything together in one place. You’ll find a wide range of farms offering pumpkin picking across South, Mid, and North Wales, complete with links to opening times, facilities, and booking details. Some sites are open daily throughout October, while others run special weekend or twilight sessions — so it’s always worth checking before you visit.
Whether you’re after a quiet morning among the vines or a full Halloween day out with the kids, Wales has a pumpkin patch to suit every taste. Explore the directory below to discover the best pumpkin picking locations in Wales and plan your perfect autumn adventure across the Welsh countryside.
