Considering pumpkin picking in Essex during October to choose your perfect pumpkin for carving, there are plenty of Pumpkin Patches in Essex to choose from, so if you are wondering if there’s pumpkin picking near me, here are a few for you to check out, I used to love going to an Essex pumpkin patch when we made a return to my childhood home.
Pumpkin Picking in Essex

There is also a chance for your little ones (or you!) to face their fears when they meet the snakes, tarantulas and other creepy critters in the Reptile House. And as always, we promise a free pumpkin for every child!
