9 fabulous pics as Paul's Farm Pumpkin Patch in Leyland gets ready to host final weekend

The October attraction brings thousands of people, who have travelled from far and wide, this is the third and final weekend of the pumpkin patch.

It is free entry with no need to book, free on-site parking, held 10-4pm Saturday and Sunday, October 24 and 25.

Visitors can enjoy a free tractor and trailer ride to the patch where you can pick your perfect pumpkin, fresh from the field. There's lots of fun things to enjoy, including face painting, games, a spooky shop, photo opportunities and much more!

Kevin Wareing, owner of Paul's Farm said: “We've been going since 2021 and it's gradually grown bigger and bigger. 


“We have lots of different activities on, but people primarily go and pick the pumpkins by going on a tractor ride to the field and then they come back for all the different activities.

“There's lots of games and activities in the shed, things to look at and learn about, like how pumpkins are grown and the wildlife around us.

“I'd like to thank all our volunteers, because without them, we wouldn't be able to run it, because we need so many people to make sure everyone is kept safe.”

There are also local, independent food and drink vendors, visitors can meet honeybees and get up close to owls and birds of prey, enjoy spooktacular face painting and stop by to support the event's official charity partner, The Royal British Legion. Every pumpkin on the patch is grown on the farm as an edible food crop.

A wide range of sizes of pumpkins are available in small, medium and large, ranging from £3 to £12 depending on size. Paul's Farm Pumpkin Patch is located at Dunkirk Lane, Leyland.
