The Best places to go Pumpkin Picking near Hull 2023

There are so many reasons why we love a bit of pumpkin picking – it’s always a great day out. With this list, you’ll be spoilt for the choice of where to go this spooky season. I’ve had to put the list into alphabetical order because I just couldn’t choose which should go first!

Note: all details are correct at the time of posting and I will be on the lookout for changes and update accordingly. But always check ahead before your visit in case of changes.

The Balloon Tree Farm Shop and Cafe Pumpkin Picking Event

* updated *

Pumpkins are finally ready at The Balloon Tree with wheelbarrows waiting to carry both your pumpkins and children! With an entry fee of £1.50 per person (non-walkers are free) this may not be the cheapest option, though pumpkins are charged by weight which may be a better option for some.
