Pick-Your-Own & Pumpkin Patches in Manchester

Pumpkin picking around Manchester means a longer trip out to Saint Helens, where Catchdale Moss Farm runs its patch each autumn. There's a cafe on site for hot chocolate once the picking's done, and picnics are allowed if you'd rather bring your own. Prices start from £60, which is more of a family outing than a quick stop. The same farm carries on into winter with a Christmas barn, wreath workshops and a tree kitchen with a bar for the adults. If pumpkins are the main event, go early in the season before the good ones are gone. There isn't another patch closer to the city listed here, so this is the one to plan a proper day around.
