27 places to go Pumpkin Picking in the North of England
Updated: Sep 21, 2021

We have been going Pumpkin picking for years now and it is something we look forward to every year. We do tend to head to one of these pick your own places from our list as we just love going, but this year we are thinking of trying a few different places. You see when it comes to Halloween we don't just do one pumpkin, we do lots. We don't just carve them and pop candles in we love to make Pumpkin Soup too, although the smaller ones are much tastier for this. Here is the recipe we swear by (I promise it is delicious!)

I have looked up how long each PYO will take if you are travelling from the city centre of Sunderland so please give or take some time depending on where you are located. To find out more just click on the name of the PYO farm below.
Please note, you may need to book for some of the PYO so please check before you visit.
