As half-term begins in Cumbria and the build-up to Halloween has begun, Page Bank Pumpkin Patch just off the coastal road between Ulverston and Barrow is the perfect place to send an hour or two whatever your age.
This family farm has created the ideal October venue, with a sea of pumpkins of all colours and sizes to pick and collect in your wheel barrow as well as plenty of photo opportunities, recipes and even a terror tunnel to explore.
To ensure everyone has space to enjoy discovering the world of pumpkins, you book your free time slot online. One you arrive there is a clear one way system to enter the patch, ample free parking and free entry.
Pumpkins ae sold on size, and you have plenty of time to walk around the field selecting your spooky, orange vegetable and a tuck shop with sweet treats and drinks to enjoy.
This is a farm which has diversified into family fun – despite many young families out on Saturday afternoon you couldn’t hear one child crying, just giggles and laughter.
For the cost of a very fresh pumpkin and for us a coffee, hot chocolate and delicious gingerbread sheep, we had a couple of wonderful hours in the fresh air and came home with several pumpkins to try out the recipes displayed in the marquee at Page Bank Pumpkin Patch.
The team running the pumpkin patch are welcoming and friendly, with lots of tips and advice on how to make the most of your pumpkin – when carving and cooking.
The Tuck Shop and Pumpkin Sales Desk take both creditcards and cash.
The journey to the Pumpkin Patch was wonderful, as we discovered the beauty of this coastline. We made it a full afternoon out by stopping at The Chill and Grill to sit in their garden opposite Bardsea Beach to enjoy a bowl of homemade vegetable soup and coffee. A perfect way to end an autumn day in Cumbria
