Top Tips For Pumpkin Picking in the West Midlands

• Stay Informed: Check the farms' Facebook pages before travelling. Sometimes, during severe bad weather, farms may close. This is also a good place to check the pumpkin availability too, as generally the closer you visit to Halloween, the fewer pumpkins there are to pick from.

• Dress Comfortably: Wear appropriate clothing and footwear for pumpkin picking (especially Wellington boots) due to uneven and muddy fields.

• Take Gloves: Gloves are great for picking up the stems of pumpkins, as they can be prickly.

• Take Bin Liners: Bin liners or bin bags are great for popping your pumpkins into carry and also prevent the boot of your car from getting muddy!

• Take Plenty of Photos: Pumpkin season provides lots of autumnal photo opportunities, so make sure to take your cameras! Why not dress in pumpkin-themed or Halloween clothing?
