Looking for a great family day out this autumn? Then get yourself down to Tatton Park this October as they celebrate traditional pumpkin growing, carving and eating at the Farm!
There is a host of events dedicated to the most famous of autumn squashes, so whether you’re looking to attract good spirits with your pumpkin lanterns or simply find delicious ways to eat them, there’s sure to be something for you!
On Saturday 19 October 2019, Tatton Park is hosting a Pumpkin Supper – a chance to dig in and tuck in! You’ll choose your own pumpkin fresh from the field, then it’s off to our Clydesdale Barn for a delicious three course pumpkin themed menu – and we’ll provide the recipes so that you can recreate the delicious dishes back home.
The cost is £25 per person, including a three course meal, entry to the Farm and Tatton Park. The supper starts at 5pm, and there’s access to the Farm from noon.
This is followed by a series of ‘Pick Your Own Pumpkin’ days on 19 & 20 and 27 & 28 October, where you can come down to the Farm to choose your perfect pumpkin! Once you’ve picked your favourite, join us for a refreshing pumpkin juice and a yummy pumpkin muffin and learn how to create a warming pumpkin soup – and we’ll provide you with the recipes too so you can make them at home. And of course you’re welcome to take your pumpkin with you ready to carve for Halloween.
The events start at 10.45 and cost £12 – children attending must be aged five and above owing to the nature of the cooking activities.
Finally, from 28 to 31 October at ‘The Pumpkin Patch’, visitors can meet all the Farmyard favourites then choose a pumpkin, fresh from the field! Once you’ve picked your perfect pumpkin, you’re welcome to take it home to carve for Halloween.
Numbers are limited, so please visit tattonpark.org.uk to book your place. Pumpkin picking times are 11.30 and 1.30 daily, and prices are £10 per person (includes pumpkin, Farm entry and park entry).
