Westover Farm Pumpkin Patch Returns For October

Westover Farm’s popular pumpkin patch is returning for another year of autumn fun.

The West Wight attraction opens on Saturday 3rd October, with visitors able to pick their own pumpkins from more than 20 varieties of pumpkins, squashes and gourds.

The patch covers several acres of countryside, with views across the Solent, and visitors can grab a wheelbarrow and search for their perfect pumpkin.

There will also be a Pumpkin Play Patch, scarecrows and plenty of photo opportunities, along with hot and cold refreshments including hot chocolates, pumpkin spiced lattes and toasties.

New for this year are late openings on Saturday 3rd and Saturday 10th October, when visitors can explore the patch during golden hour and enjoy sunset.

There will also be special Pumpkin Patch Playtime sessions for children aged from walking to five years old, taking place on Friday 9th and Friday 16th October from 10am until midday.

These sessions must be booked in advance.

The pumpkin patch is open on selected weekends and during half term, with opening times ranging from 9.30am to 4.30pm.

Entry is free and no booking is required, apart from the Friday morning Little Pumpkins sessions.

The patch is at Westover Farm and has car parking, toilets, seating and refreshments, with cash and card payments accepted.

• Saturday 3rd October: 9.30am–7pm
