Yes, it’s coming up to that time of year again where the kids (and some grown ups!) get dressed up and go Trick or Treating. Hand in hand with Halloween, comes pumpkin picking. It has become an annual tradition in our house to take the kids pumpkin picking in Surrey.
There are lots of great places to go pumpkin picking in Surrey, so I thought I would make it easier for parents and put together a ‘What’s On’ in Surrey Pumpkin Picking Halloween Guide. If you’re looking to get into the pumpkin picking and Halloween festivities over the October half term, keep reading and enjoy!
Crockford Bridge Farm
What: Pumpkin Festival
Join them this year for an immersive experience inspired by the Wizard of Oz. Listen to the narration and engage with the story as we take you down the orange brick road and through the emerald city maze. A fusion of theatre, fairground games, activities and Pumpkins galore in beautiful settings.
Where: New Haw Road, Addlestone, Weybridge KT15 2BU

Cost: £4.50 for pumpkin picking + booking fee / £14.50 for Pumpkin Festival + booking fee.
Good to know: Pumpkin picking is a separate event to the festival and finishes a week before the festival. You must have a ticket to enter both the pumpkin picking and festival and there are session times. Under 1s are free, but there is still a booking fee applied to the free ticket purchase. There is no need to book a visit to the Pumpkin Market, because it is located outside the festival so you can still purchase a pumpkin. In the festival there will be pumpkin carving and decorating, roving entertainers, pumpkin displays and photo opportunities and food vendors.
