Spooky season is upon us!

And is it even October without a trip to a Pumpkin Patch?!

If you’re looking for a Pumpkin Patch in or around Milton Keynes, get your wellies on, wrap up warm and go and find the biggest pumpkin you can at one of the following Pumpkin PYO farms.

I’ve listed the PYO farms roughly from nearest to furthest from Milton Keynes.
