Good to Know
Please remember that the pumpkin patch is a field and as such facilities are very basic, we do have a Portaloo for emergencies but there is no running water or baby changing.
Expect uneven ground.
Friendly dogs on leads are welcome – please clean up after them and take any mess home.
We are always happy for people to take photos for personal use whilst buying pumpkins. However anything professional or commercial in nature needs to be pre-booked. No drones unless with prior written permission.
The field is part of our working family farm, as such parents are responsible for the supervision of their children at all times.
The majority parking is on hardstanding so will remain useable in all weathers (fingers crossed for the sun!).

EXCELLENT Based on 131 reviews Claire O'Connor22/01/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Love Otto's Pumpkin Patch and always have a great time here. You can tell it's created with love and not just with profit in mind. They're always accommodating to my son with special needs, and we love the range of pumpkins and things to do. Thanks Finn and the team! <3 Felisbela Dias12/11/2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A truly wonderful experience with the little ones, they loved every bit. Just a mother on A mission31/10/2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We visited last year and was not disappointed. I went to book this year and there were no slots free, I contacted via Facebook and they had released a few more for the next day. My 2 children and their dad went on Sunday and got 3 lovely pumpkins. Recommended to anybody local, support local businesses :) Peter Looseley30/10/2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic experince, lovely staff.

Thanks for your hospitality and all the smiles even in the rain! Carly D30/10/2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a lovely time at Ottos pumpkin patch, lovely friendly staff and nothing too pretentious or over priced. Boys loved splashing through the mud and picking their pumpkins 🎃 K Belova30/10/2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Love it. Always so fun! And great pumpkins Hannah Gullen30/10/2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely the most brilliant pumpkin picking experience we have ever been to as a family bear in mind that this is our 2nd time at Otto’s, everyone was so polite and nothing was to much trouble. Games and trails set out for children it was a blast. It wasn’t just about pumpkins and Halloween but also about how to cook with the produce and what the flavoured squash or pumpkin best go with, lots of knowledgeable people and information given too. Can’t wait to come along next year. Kind regards Gullen-Matthews Family
