What To Wear
Though The Pumpkin Patch East Bergholt is normally pretty dry, it is still a field and can be muddy. Please ensure you dress appropriately...we recommend wellies and waterproof clothing for little ones.
Dogs
We warmly welcome well-behaved pumpkin picking pooches, but ask that you keep your four legged friends on a short, controlled lead and that you pick up and dispose of all waste. We also reserve the right to ask any dog or owner to leave the Pumpkin Patch.
Refreshments
The lovely Queen Bee Coffee team are ready to refuel all our lovely pumpkin pickers with delicious coffee, fabulous tea and tasty snacks.
Toilets
We do not have any toilet facilities on site. There are some public facilities available within the village which you can visit while you further explore our beautiful village…we have a fabulous bakery, some brilliant cafes and wonderful pubs.
WHAT OUR PUMPKIN PICKERS SAY
Fabulous place such kind staff and the children had a blast. Plenty of pumpkins and things to do and yummy cakes & drinks available too. Definitely one to visit and we will be back.
