Pumpkin picking in Surrey 2020

We always enjoy Halloween what with the dressing up, going trick or treating and catching up with friends. This year is going to look rather different (trick or treating in the house anyone?) but it’s not to say we can’t have some fun! We’re pleased to hear the local farms are still able to offer pumpkin picking as it’s such a great laugh. The whole process of selecting a pumpkin or two that are the right size for carving – or eating depending on how creative you’re feeling. There are inevitable changes this year, due to COVID, primarily in that, all tickets must be purchased in advance and groups must be six or less.
