It’s that time of year again, when days are getting shorter and there’s a chill in the air. So, as we approach Halloween, what is there around the local area to occupy the little ones?
Pumpkin Picking:
Pumpkin carving is always a big hit, and your small people will love going out into a field to choose their own pumpkins. Here are some local pumpkin patches!
Poynings pumpking patch
Popular pick-your-own Poynings Pumpkin Patch is to open its fields once again this weekend ahead of Halloween 2022 celebrations. Families and pumpkin pickers have been invited to the scenic South Downs site. Poynings Pumpkin Patch’s opening hours are 10am to 4pm and the first chance pickers will have to visit is from this Saturday (October 1) and Sunday (October 2). The patch will then open again on the following two weekends - October 8 and 9 and October 15 and 16.
