Pumpkin Patch 2024
Closed after 29th October 2024. ​​​​
​
Overstone Grange Farm is back soon for our sixth Autumn of fun on our family farm and we have lots in store for you! We are more than just pumpkin picking.
Our pumpkin patch has a huge variety of pumpkins - over 75 this year! Our play patch is jam packed with more fun and we have a mini maize maze to get lost in.
​
Our refreshments will be filled with local businesses, including the best coffee from Yellow Bourbon (which is roasted on the farm, doesnt get more local than that!).
​
We will be open for our pumpkin patch from 5th October at weekends and every day from 28th October - 31st October. Now closing 29th October.
We will also be holding some later night pumpkin picking to enjoy the farm by torch light!
​
Our pumpkin patch has the biggest variety ever. (And we reckon the biggest variety in Northamptonshire!)
It is approximately 30 acres (the size of 15 football pitches) with over 100,00 seeds planted and over 75 varieties of pumpkins and gourds growing.
​
We huge ones, we have small ones and all sizes in between. We have orange, red, white, black, blue, pink, stripey, grey and green ones. We have round ones, tall ones, tiny ones, knobbly ones. We grow our pumpkins, and so the later in the season you visit, the less there will be - come early to get the pick of the patch!
Amongst our pumpkins you will find some spooky scenes to enjoy and marvel at. There will be plenty of photo opportunities in the patch too.
Our vegetable cannon is returning with some new targets. See if you can get your name on our leader board. (Additional Cost)
​
A new mini maize maze to get lost in.
​
Our fantastic face painters will be back on selected dates too (Additional Cost) (6th, 12th, 13th, 19th, 20th, 26th, 27th) (28th and 29th - no longer available)
​

Play Patch
Included in tickets is our play patch. And it is back better than ever. Visitor favourites like the bale tower will be bigger and better, the tractor tyre sandpits are restocked and Jenga is polished! We have our very special playhouse and a pedal tractor area. We have more games than ever from Skittles to swing ball, space hoppers to Boules. There should be something for the young and the young at heart to enjoy playing.
Refreshments
Varying throughout the season we will have baked potatoes, toasted sandwiches or crepes for you to enjoy. There will also be hot and cold drinks and home baked treats.
There are picnic tables you can enjoy your food at.
You are welcome to bring along a blanket and picnic from home too. Please ensure ALL rubbish is put in the bins to keep the farm clean, tidy and safe for the animals.

Tips for visiting us!
-
There will be mud! Pumpkins are picked from where they grow, come prepared.
-
The pumpkins will have mud - please line your boot if you don't want it to get dirty.
-
There are wheelbarrows to borrow. Please only take 1 per group.
-
If you put kids in a wheelbarrow, it is at your own risk. Do not let go of the wheelbarrow - they topple easily.
-
Pumpkins last for months. Store them somewhere cool & dry and make sure they are clean.
-
Do not kick, drop, throw or stamp on the pumpkins. You will be asked to leave immediately if we see this.
-
Book tickets - early. Pumpkin picking sells out. Book early to avoid disappointment. We can't guarantee entry without a ticket.
-
We grow all our pumpkins, there is no pumpkin fairy to restock the field. Come early to get the pick of the patch and the best variety.
