1st October 2025 - 31st October 2025

What makes the perfect pumpkin? Do you like to find the largest one, the roundest one or a gnarled one?

Take your pick of the Doddington Pumpkin Patch this October with thirty different varieties of pumpkins, squash and gourds to choose from.

Enter via the Gatehouse in front of the Elizabethan Hall and follow our spooky walk through the Kitchen Garden to the Pumpkin Patch. Stop along the way to learn some fun facts and take your Instagram worthy photos.

Wellies are essential as it can get muddy. Halloween fancy dress is encouraged.

Patch open 1-31 October, 10am-4pm daily, while stocks last. Free entry, pay for what you pick. Prices start from £4 dependent on size.

*Dogs are not permitted in the Pumpkin Patch but are welcome on leads through the Kitchen Garden and to the Pumpkin Patch gate*

Golden Bottoms

Keep an eye out for golden bottoms! We’ll be hiding some golden bottomed pumpkins in the patch throughout October. If you find one you’ll win the pumpkin, a family ticket to Christmas in the Hall and a 4ft Doddington homegrown Christmas tree so keep your eyes peeled!

Doddington Hall and Gardens take great interest in limiting food waste. So, if you are carving your Halloween pumpkin this year, you can limit waste by using some of your pumpkin innards to make a delicious and warming dish. Find out some of their delicious recipes on the Doddington Hall website. 

Make the most of your visit with autumnal dishes and warming seasonal drinks available from the Farm Shop Café or Grain Store Café, both open daily during your visit to the Pumpkin Patch, great places to spend time with your friends and family and get cosy and warm.
