To ensure everybody gets the best experience possible and to help us manage the flow of traffic and people, we prefer a booking.

Parking is included in your ticket

For the first three years, entry to the pumpkin patch was free - with visitors able to purchase additional tickets for experiences such as the Play Patch, Woodland Trail and our word and scavenger hunt games.

This year, we're doing things a little differently.

We've decided to simplify the Cawdor Pumpkin Patch experience so that one ticket gives you access to everything the Pumpkin Patch has to offer. 🎃

Rather than having a free entry ticket and then asking visitors to choose and pay for additional experiences, your Pumpkin Patch ticket now includes access to the Play Patch, Woodland Trail and our games and activities.

We felt this was a much better way to do things. It means one ticket, one price. All you need money for on the day is pumpkins and anything you wish to buy from our cafe.

As Cawdor Pumpkin Patch has grown, we've also invested heavily in the experience, our facilities and the site, including being able to offer some hard-standing parking. To continue delivering the Pumpkin Patch at the standard we want - and to keep investing in making it bigger and better - we need a simple and sustainable ticketing model.

So, while charging for entry is a change, we hope you'll see the value in having access to all our areas included in your ticket.

We're really excited about this year's Pumpkin Patch and everything we've got planned. 🎃🍂

We will do our best to accommodate walk-ins but we cannot guarantee entry if you haven't booked in advance.
