Pumpkin patches to visit in Lincolnshire this October

Pumpkin season is well and truly among us, and as families prepare to carve their own Halloween sculptures this year, the opportunity is there across Lincolnshire for an autumnal day out pumpkin picking.

Whether it’s a spooky day out with the family or scope for an Instagram photoshoot, pumpkin patches have often served as the ideal experience for anyone looking to get into the spirit of Halloween.

Tradition of the annual holiday is to carve a scary face into your pumpkins, place a candle in them and leave them outside your house for trick or treaters to admire – but where can you get your pumpkins from if not a supermarket?

Here are some of the pumpkin patches you can find across Lincolnshire this October, along with their opening times, dates and prices.
