Pick your own pumpkins in East Yorkshire this October

Drewton’s huge four-acre field is filled with 35 different pumpkin varieties of all colours and sizes just waiting to be picked and transformed into spooky Halloween creations. Which is handy because there’s a special pumpkin carving area for you to get creative in! And if you’re feeling proud of your scary masterpiece you can enter it into their pumpkin competition and bag some spooktacular prizes too.

Of course, you can’t go pumpkin picking without getting a few snaps for Instagram and you’ll find lots of great photo opportunities at Drewton’s, with specially designed backdrops and cut-outs.

When it’s time to refuel, head to the Pumpkin Shack for a hot drink or a cup of their famous pumpkin soup! Or stop for lunch or a special Halloween themed afternoon tea in the Drewton’s restaurant. Be sure to book ahead though.

Entry is free and dogs are welcome, as long as they’re kept on leads, and you clean up after them.
