Pick your own Pumpkins

There is no entrance fee – the field is free to visit

You don’t need to book to enter the pumpkin patch, just come along, also for the Pumpkins by Torchlight.

Yes, there is plenty of free parking in the fields next to the sunflower and pumpkin field

Yes, there are portaloos at the side of the field near the entrance. There is also a baby-change unit and an accessible toilet.

Well-behaved dogs on short leads are welcome in the picnic area of the pumpkin field.
There is a special little pumpkin patch for dogs, at the entrance to the main patch. We don’t recommend buying these pumpkins due to normal dog behaviour.
Unfortunately, due to having had to clean up after too many dogs, dogs are not allowed inside the main pumpkin patch.

• Please keep your dog under control at all times and ensure that your dog does not disturb other people’s enjoyment of the premises or block any passageways.

If it’s been dry recently, you don’t need any special clothing or footwear to visit the pumpkin field. If it’s been raining recently, the ground may be muddy and you may want to consider wearing wellies. You are welcome to wear fancy dress if you like.

Yes, the field is fine for buggies and prams, but please note that it is a field and can be uneven in places. If it’s been raining the ground can get muddy.

Yes, the pumpkin field is accessible for wheelchairs and we have an accessible portaloo available too. Please note that the terrain is a field which can be uneven and can get muddy if it’s been raining.

Yes, there are plenty of picnicking spots. Bring a blanket and a picnic, and enjoy your time here.

Yes, we have food and drink vendors at the field. Please see the list above. Please keep an eye on this page and on our social media for any updates.

The pumpkins are all edible, but the gourds are not. We have a big board up at the field which lists the varieties and whether they are edible or not.

Our pumpkins and gourds all grow right here on Rougham Estate. We don’t import any.

Most of them are scattered across the patch exactly where they have grown, waiting to be picked. You can wander amongst them to find your perfect one.
Sometimes we move some around to create features in the field, like gathering them together to make the Pumpkin House.

We prefer cards, but will accept both cards and cash

Yes, we have a recipe for a tasty pumpkin pie at the field, or find one online.

Yes, there is a baby-changing unit in one of the portaloos

Yes, we have plenty of wheelbarrows.
Please remember to bring your wheelbarrow back to the wheelbarrow park, at the entrance, when you’re done with it, so that someone else can use it.

Unfortunately we are not able to open the field out-of-hours. The field is generally quieter at the beginning of the morning or later in the afternoon and you may find that these times are suitable for your visit.

Unfortunately we don’t have the facilities to bulk-pick pumpkins for events. If you would like to come and pick the pumpkins yourself when we are open, you are welcome to.

If your photos are purely for personal use, you are welcome to take as many pictures as you like. Do tag us @roughamestate if you post them – we love to see them!

If you are a professional photographer or are taking pictures for any for-profit/commercial reason, you are required to get a licence for the photoshoot on our private land and book a time to visit. Please see the details on this page.

Drone photography can only be undertaken at a time when the field is not open to the public. Please get in touch to book a time.

After the field closes, a local food charity comes to get a stack of pumpkins to be cooked up to make meals and the rest of the pumpkins are for a local flock of sheep that come and graze the field, eating the pumpkins and fertilising the field for the coming year.
