Aldingbourne Park Farm Pumpkins

🎃 That’s a Wrap on Pumpkin Season 2025! 🎃

From the bottom of our muddy boots — THANK YOU! 💛

To every single one of you who braved the weather, picked a pumpkin (or five!), slid down straw slides, got lost in our “fun-sized” Maize Maze, and shared your smiles with us — we are so grateful.

This year brought us sunshine, laughter, a few soggy socks, and a whole lot of pumpkin joy. Sadly, after a thorough risk assessment (and a very muddy pair of wellies), we’ve decided it’s time to close the gates. The rain has turned our patch into a bit of a swamp — not even Farmer Bruce’s tractor wants to go near it!

🧙‍♀️ But don’t worry — we’ll be conjuring up something even more magical for next year! With a bit of luck (and a lot less drought), we’ll have a bumper crop of pumpkins and a Maize Maze so tall even Farmer Bruce might finally get lost (and enjoy the peace and quiet!).

A huge thank you to our incredible team:
✨ Erin the Enchanting Witch
🔧 Glen the Metal Magician
🍔 Shelley, Amelia, Ollie & Brooke — our food heroes who kept the crowds fed and happy!

And of course, the family behind the magic:
🚜 Farmer Bruce – still grumbling about hay bales
👩‍🌾 Lucinda – the long-suffering (and long-list-making) Farmers Wife
🔧 Gareth aka Maximus Maintenance – master of fixing everything but his hair
🧙‍♀️ Syd – the resident Witch and chaos coordinator

🕸️ And a special shoutout to everyone who dared to enter the Witches Grotto — where spells were cast, secrets were shared, and more than a few brave souls left with glitter in their hair and a cackle in their hearts!

If you have had fun at our farm, we would be ever so grateful if you could leave us a review on our page 😊🚜

Until next year, stay spooky and thank you for making Aldingbourne Park Farm Pumpkins a place full of laughter, memories, and muddy boots. 🌽🎃👻

🎃 SYD THE WITCH STOLE THE TRACTOR! 🧙‍♀️🚜
Farmer Bruce is fuming—Syd took his pride and joy for a spin and caused chaos (and laughter) across the farm! 😂

Today at Aldingbourne Park Farm Pumpkins was nothing short of magical. The straw bale play area was packed with happy faces (and it’s totally FREE!). Families got creative at the carving table, and we saw wheelbarrows overflowing with pumpkins—just £20 for a whole barrow! 🎃💪

Our pumpkin patch is still bursting with beauties, so don’t worry—we’ve got plenty more waiting for you!

🚜 The tractor and trailer rides were jammed full of giggles and excitement. We even had a wolf join us for TWO rides—he couldn’t get enough! 🐺💨

🍔 Big thanks to Shelley & Ollie from The George & Dragon, North Street, Chichester, for keeping everyone fed and happy!

Syd’s Grotto was buzzing with visitors today—so many, she didn’t even miss having a telly. She’s back at it tonight, brewing up spooky treats for tomorrow’s Halloween crowd. 🧪🍬

🕙 Open again tomorrow 10am–4pm
🎟️ FREE entry

🎃 Thank You for a Magical Day at Aldingbourne Park Farm Pumpkins! 🌾

To all the lovely families who visited us today — thank you! We had an incredible time and hope you did too. Farmer Bruce barely left his tractor seat, ferrying families from the Woodland Walk at the Aldingbourne Trust and those arriving directly to the farm, on a scenic 25-minute ride around our beautiful fields. 🚜

Pumpkin picking was top notch — and at just £20 for a wheelbarrow full, we expect to see some serious carving action happening soon! 🎃✂️ Don’t forget, you’re welcome to bring your own carving tools and use our carving table — we’ll deal with the mess!

Some clever folks cracked the Halloween-themed word hidden in our Maize Maize and bagged themselves a sweet treat 🍬 — well done, you spooky superstars!

🧙‍♀️ Over in the Witches Grotto, witchy conversations, spooky art, and tasty treats were shared with our little visitors. Syd absolutely loved seeing the children enjoy the magic — it’s what makes the grotto so special!

There are bound to be some very blocked hoovers tonight… children (and a few grown-ups!) took home plenty of straw in their boots and clothes after having a whale of a time on our free-to-use straw bale play area! 😄🌾

A huge thank you to Shelley and her daughter Brooke from The George & Dragon, North Street, Chichester, who cooked up a storm of hot food and drinks to keep everyone warm and topped up on this beautiful autumn day. 🍔☕️

And let’s not forget Glen, our Metal Magician, who’s been busy in the farm workshop crafting spooky delights — from spider stands for pumpkins to hanging bats and ghosts. These handmade treasures are available to purchase at the till area — perfect for adding a little extra magic to your Halloween! 🕷️👻🛠️

🛠️ Even Maximus Maintenance was blessed with a calmer day today — the weather was on his side, and the farm ran like clockwork!

🧹 A special shoutout to Erin Witch, our witch-in-training, who’s been doing an amazing job running a tight ship at the till area. She’s kept everything flowing smoothly with a sprinkle of magic and a whole lot of organisation!

🐾 Dogs are welcome — just please keep them on a lead and clear up any mess so everyone can enjoy the farm safely and happily!

📍 We’re open every day this week, 10am to 4pm — come and join the fun at PO18 0LJ!

As the sun went down, we sat back, soaked in the view, and reflected on what a truly wonderful day it had been. 🌅💛

If you had fun today, we’d love to hear from you! 💬 As a small family farm, your kind words and feedback mean the world to us. Please consider leaving us a review on our page — it helps others discover the magic too! 🌟

🎃 A Magical Day at Aldingbourne Park Farm Pumpkins! 🧙‍♀️🧡

We’ve had a spellbinding day at the patch today! Families arrived in style — some bouncing in on the tractor from the Aldingbourne Trust, others heading straight to us — and the joy was absolutely infectious. Even Farmer Bruce couldn’t resist cracking a few smiles (we’re as shocked as you were! 😄).

Syd the Witch’s Grotto was a hit with our tiniest visitors, who really embraced the spooky spirit. Syd’s convinced there are plenty of witches and wizards in the making… though they’ll need to work on their frog leg appetite! 🐸✨

🌟 HALF TERM SPECIAL! 🌟
Grab yourself a whole wheelbarrow of pumpkins for just £20! 🎃🛒
Perfect for carving, decorating, or cooking up something autumnal — fill it up and roll away with a bargain!

🍽️ Huge shoutout to Shelley and Amelia from The George & Dragon, North Street, Chichester — they were cooking up warm feasts faster than a witch on a broomstick in a wind tunnel! 🧹🔥 We’re not sure if they used cauldrons or just pure magic, but bellies were full and smiles were wide!

📸 If you visited today, we’d love to see your spooky snaps — tag us in your photos and share the Halloween joy!
💬 And if you had a great time, it would mean the world if you left us a review on our page — it helps us keep the magic alive!

🎃 Today at Aldingbourne Park Farm Pumpkins… What a whirlwind! 🍂

The farm was absolutely buzzing with autumn magic! We were delighted to welcome so many wonderful visitors from the Aldingbourne Trust, whose joy and laughter filled the air as they hopped aboard our tractor trailer rides and picked their perfect pumpkins straight from the patch! 🚜🎃

It wasn’t just Trust visitors enjoying the rides — our farm guests were queuing up too! But things got a little out of hand when Farmer Bruce’s prized vintage tractors mysteriously disappeared… Turns out Maximus Maintenance (his son) and Syd the Witch (his daughter) fancied a race across the fields. Let’s just say… Bruce wasn’t impressed when they returned covered in mud! 😅💨🌾

Maximus Maintenance was absolutely run ragged today — with demands flying in from every direction, he somehow kept everything moving and running smoothly. Hats off to him for keeping the wheels turning! 🛠️💪

Rich, Syd the Witch’s ever-patient husband, was a calming force amidst the chaos — helping little ones on and off the tractor trailer rides, answering questions, and making sure everything stayed in check. 🚜🧡

Meanwhile, Lucinda — Bruce’s long-suffering wife — and Erin Witch were absolute stars at the till area, keeping things running smoothly and helping excited pumpkin pickers find their perfect prize. 🎃💛

Syd’s Grotto was packed with little witches and wizards, the straw play area was bouncing with energy, and the Maize Maze was full of giggles and explorers. And the costumes? Absolutely fang-tastic! 🧛‍♀️🧙‍♂️👻

A massive thank you to The George and Dragon, North Street, Chichester for keeping everyone warm and well-fed — your hot food and drinks were a huge hit! 🍔☕️ Special shoutout to your wonderful chefs Shelley and Amelia — you kept the magic flowing and the bellies full! 👩‍🍳✨

✨ Glen the Metal Magician’s creations went down an absolute treat! Visitors were amazed by his incredible work — thank you Glen for bringing your unique magic to the farm! His pieces are available to purchase and built to last a lifetime — perfect for adding a touch of rustic charm to your home or garden. 🔧🪄

💬 We’d be so grateful if you could leave us a review on our page and tag us in any photos from your visit! Seeing your smiling faces and magical memories means the world to us and helps others discover the joy of the farm. 📸💛

And just a reminder: ✅ Free entry
🚗 Roadside parking — no chance of getting stuck!
🌾 Huge undercover area
🐾 Well-behaved dogs are very welcome!
