Pick Your Own Pumpkins within a 90 Minute Drive of Newcastle Upon Tyne





Please Read 


I am hoping to visit lots of Pumpkin Patches across October and will be sharing videos of our experiences over on our Instagram account - make sure you're following along here (or just search for North East Family Fun on Instagram) 






It's important to check with venues direct before heading out as sometimes they need to change opening dates or closed early if they run out of pumpkins. Please make sure you do this! 

I am so sorry but there is zero information out there regarding whether these pumpkin patches are accessible. I know it's a pain but I'd recommend giving the pumpkin patch you'd like to visit a ring closer to the time to check the current terrain and suitability. 

I have plotted all of the locations of the Pumpkin Patches mentioned in this post in this handy google map - you can download / view it for free and get all of the postcodes here. Or scroll to the bottom of this post for an interactive version of the map.

My Top Recommendation 


We usually visit Spilmans Farm Pumpkin Picking and always have THE best time, honestly I recommend it to anyone who fancies getting in the mood for Halloween. Plus they serve the best pizzas around.
