Rougham Pumpkins

Just in time for Halloween, Rougham Estate has a vast, beautiful field full of hundreds of thousands of pumpkins, squashes and gourds in over 20 different varieties; in a huge array of different sizes and glorious colours, all just waiting to be picked exactly where they have grown

Positioned just south of Junction 45 on the A14, the Rougham Pumpkin Patch is a sea of orange, where visitors can grab a wheelbarrow and choose as many of their perfect pumpkins as they want, just where they have been growing.

There is plenty more to enjoy too, with room for children to run and climb, space to picnic, sandpits, ice cream, pedal tractors and small pumpkin games for the family, as well as lots of fabulous photo opportunities and a delicious range of food trucks including a bar.
Face painting by Face It Face Painting will be available each day we are open.

With FREE entrance and parking, come along and take it easy; stay for as long as you like, dress up if you wish, just come and let the children play.
Pay for the pumpkins you choose at the exit from the patch.

Food and Drink
There are a range of food and drink vendors coming over the days we are open; come and enjoy amazing food, festival vibes and pumpkins galore!
We’ll be listing them here soon.

Dogs
Well-behaved dogs on a short lead are welcome in the picnic area and in the little dedicated doggy pumpkin patch. We do not recommend buying these pumpkins, due to normal dog behaviour.

Dogs are not allowed into the main pumpkin patch – the clean-up job in previous years has been too much, unfortunately.

It is always difficult to balance the wishes of dog owners (as we are) who really want to take their dogs into the main pumpkin patch and the upset of customers whose children have ended up with dog dirt over them, so we have tried to find a reasonable compromise. Thank you for your understanding and for respecting our boundaries.

Pumpkins by Torchlight 2026
On two spooky Saturday evenings – the 17th and 24th October – the Rougham Pumpkin Patch will be open from 6pm to 9pm for a fabulous pumpkin festival at night, including a silent disco.

More information coming soon.
