Garsons Farm Pumpkin Patch is very popular and you do need to book your Pumpkin Parade tickets well in advance, especially for weekends and over October half term break.
When you arrive at Garsons Farm, follow the signs through the car park to the entrance of the Pick Your Own Farm. At the entrance kiosk, you will need to show your Pumpkin Parade booking before making your way around the PYO farm. The entrance to the Pumpkin Parade is almost at the exit and there is plenty of signage along the way.
The pumpkins at Garsons Pumpkin Parade are arranged in two areas, an outdoor pumpkin patch and a covered walk-through tunnel. There are plenty of pumpkins of all shapes and sizes to choose from and several themed photo opportunities along the way in both areas.
Make sure to get a wheelbarrow at the beginning of the Pumpkin Parade for your pumpkin haul. At the entrance, you will find picnic tables as well as a fire station for toasting marshmallows, a great new addition to this year’s pumpkin patch.
