Why You Won't Want to Miss the Return of the North East's Most Popular Pumpkin Patch
This October, the Brocksbushes Pumpkin Experience is back, and it's set to be the biggest and best year yet for the North East's most popular Pumpkin Patch!
In big news for 2025, pumpkin carving is back! Guests can pick their perfect pumpkin straight from the field, then get creative in the dedicated carving tent once they’ve purchased their pumpkins.
Brocksbushes pumpkins are grown right there on the farm, just outside Corbridge. This year, their amazing farm team have planted more than 160,000 pumpkins across the fields. From tiny gourds to giant whoppers, every single pumpkin has been lovingly grown on-site, ensuring visitors get a truly authentic ‘pick-your-own’ experience.
The event’s Food Village is also expanding this year, featuring an irresistible line-up of local vendors including homemade food and sweet treats from Brocksbushes Bites, artisanal wood-fired pizzas from Fire & Dough, fresh Vietnamese flavours from The Big Banh and sugary treats from Churro Van.
Also new for this year is Woof Wednesdays! On the 22nd and 29th October only, your furry friends are welcome to join in the autumn fun. Dogs can head into the pumpkin patch with their owners to sniff out the perfect pumpkin.
The fun doesn’t stop there. For thrill-seekers and fun-lovers, there will be rides and attractions (operating on a pay as you go basis), including a children’s roller coaster, Pumpkin bumper cars, a Fun House and a whole host of pumpkin-themed games to get involved in.
This year will also feature two special ‘Twilight’ sessions on Friday 17th and Friday 24th October – magical evenings under the glow of twinkling festoon lights, complete with live music, delicious food, and seasonal drinks.
Spaces have sold out every year and this year is set to be no different, so Brocksbushes are urging visitors to book early to secure their spot.
