October nights are officially spiced up with the return of the Avon Valley Pumpkin Patch today (October 1). The South West’s biggest PYO pumpkin extravaganza is back by popular demand , promising pumpkin picking fun, dazzling lights and spectacular seasonal entertainment.
For those keen to carve a pumpkin that gets people talking, you can pick your own through the massive home grown pumpkin patch at Avon Valley Adventure & Wildlife Park. From today, the pumpkin patch will be open every weekend in October as well as Friday, October 21 and every day during Half Term from October 24 to October 30.
After last year’s sold-out event, visitors are being warned to book early to avoid any disappointment. Tickets for children and adults cost £4.99, and you will also need to pay for any pumpkins you pick as well.
