An Autumn Experience for All Ages
A pumpkin patch offers more than a quick shop visit. It gives people time outside, space to explore, and a simple way to enjoy the colours and feel of the season. The team behind Ovens Pumpkin Patch already runs a well known Christmas tree farm in the area. This new event builds on that experience with a calm and tidy layout that suits families with young children as well as couples and friends who want a short seasonal outing.
Visitors can stroll through themed displays, take photos, and enjoy the views across the farm. The focus is on a warm welcome and a smooth visit from arrival to exit, with timed entry to keep numbers comfortable across the day.
What to Expect on the Day
- Pumpkin displays with plenty of choice
- Vintage tractor display for photo opportunities
- Meet the Shropshire sheep from a safe viewing area
- Face painting for children
- Seasonal photo areas set around the farm
- Food and drink stalls with warm treats
- Short scenic farm walks with simple wayfinding
- On site parking a short walk from the patch
The organisers aim to keep the experience simple and friendly. The layout is mostly level, though ground can be soft after rain. Prams are welcome on the main route. Wellies or boots are advised in wet weather.
Tickets and Booking
Two ticket types will be offered so visitors can choose what suits them best. Please see the official website for current ticket information and availability. Children under 2 are free. Timed entry helps spread arrivals and keeps queues short, so advance booking is recommended. A limited number of slots may be released close to the date if capacity allows.

Supporting Local Growers and Good Practice
Pumpkins will be sourced from trusted Irish growers where possible. The farm uses nature friendly methods throughout the year with Shropshire sheep helping to manage grass between tree rows. This approach keeps herbicide use low and maintains habitats along the nearby river. The same attention to tidy presentation and safe access used for the Christmas tree season is applied to the autumn event.
