Rougham PYO Pumpkins 2025

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!

Positioned very close to Junction 45 on the A14, the aptly named 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, deckchairs, 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.

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.

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 2025
On two spooky Saturday evenings – (we expect these evenings to be October 18th and 25th) – the Rougham Pumpkin Patch will stay open from 5:30pm to 9.30pm for a fabulous pumpkin festival at night.
Bring your torches, wear your wellies and enjoy the fun!
Free parking and free entrance, as always, and yes, you can buy the pumpkins at night.
