Mini Pumpkin Patch at The Plotters’ Forest

Choose your very own mini pumpkin from our new patch. Perfectly sized for little ones to decorate this Autumn!

Can you find all of the objects on the trail sheet as you wander through the pumpkin patch and match up all the pumpkin pairs? Decorate and give your chosen pumpkin a funny face under the tipi! There are so many fantastic photo opportunities at the pumpkin patch, from hand-carved, giant wooden spiders & pumpkins to straw bales, tyres and of course, a sea of mini pumpkins.

Tickets are available as an add-on with a Plotters’ Forest, Family Explorer ticket or Raby Membership, follow the booking process to add to your order!

Please note: The pumpkin patch has uneven ground and may get a little muddy, suitable footwear and outdoor clothing is advised!
