Pick-Your-Own & Pumpkin Patches in Plymouth

Pumpkin season around Plymouth means a choice between a quick farm shop stop and a proper day out. Ben's Farm Shop is closest, with a picnic area and a café doing breakfast and proper lunches every day. For the full patch experience you are heading further out: Strawberry Fields Farm shop in Lifton has a maize maze, a barrel train ride and a pumpkin patch that turns into a fire-lit evening show in October, while a drive out to Buckfastleigh gets you the other Strawberry Fields, known for homemade pies and pasties and a cream tea with proper Cornish clotted cream alongside its own pumpkin patch. If you just want somewhere easy with toddlers, Ben's Farm Shop is wheelchair accessible and has toilets on site, and it is the nearest option by some way. For a bigger outing with older kids, Lifton's maze and train ride give them more to do than picking pumpkins alone, and entry starts from £5.95. Buckfastleigh is the one to pick for food afterwards, with EV charging if you are driving over from Plymouth. Check which patch is running before you set off in October.
