Pumpkin patches in Warwickshire for Halloween 2019

🎃 PUMPKIN PATCHES IN WARWICKSHIRE! 🎃

It feels like Halloween is becoming bigger each year here in the UK.

The shops start to fill up with fancy dress and sweeties in September, and get the kids on board early doors. Whether Halloween is your thing or not however, thanks to commercialism, the chances of ignoring its existence are low.

My kids are no exception. They love a bit of dress-up and a carved pumpkin, and are like moths to a flame in the supermarkets.

In general, I’ve never really gone in for this celebration, but because I enjoy being outdoors I’m all in for pumpkin patches. They seem to have caught on as the new darling of Halloween and I’m delighted!

Pumpkins really are the icon of Halloween. They add a great splash of colour to the season too. Even better, they are a nutritious ingredient for a whole range of comfort foods. Once you’ve carved them out therefore, you can use the flesh to make warming spiced pumpkin soup, roasted veggies, and of course, pumpkin pie. Mmm.

Why go to a pumpkin patch?

Why indeed!

Reasons to head to a pumpkin patch include

It gets the kids outdoors
They will have a lot of fun finding the largest/smallest/dirtiest/funniest shaped pumpkins
You’ll get amazing photos of your kids set against a backdrop of hundreds of the things
There’s often other Halloween themed activities going on too

Don’t expect pumpkins to be cheaper if you pick your own, however. They are typically more expensive than supermarkets.

You’ll also need to be quick – they only stay open as long as they have stock!
