It’s nearing Halloween and anyone with a small child will know that you have to go all out with the decorating, and you can’t have Halloween without carving a pumpkin or two.

Last year we went to Sopley Farm near Christchurch to pick our own pumpkins, unfortunately we had left it until a few days before Halloween and there weren’t many left to choose from. So this year we thought we’d be better prepared and head down there a few weeks in advance.

There are still lots left, plus a pumpkin hunt in the corn field so if you are nearby it’s definitely worth a trip.

Here are a few photos from our visit…

Our 3 pumpkins (2 large and 1 small) came to £4.55, so cheaper than the supermarkets and much more fun!
