Our older description (written for a previous season)

Bell's Pumpkin Patch, the East of England's largest and original pumpkin destination, opens from October 14th to 15th and 21st to 29th, 2023. Founded by the Bell family, it initially started as a 'pick your own' pumpkin field and has since evolved into one of the UK's major Pumpkin Patches, attracting over 20,000 visitors annually. The farm offers diverse family activities, featuring not only a vast pumpkin patch but also two fun-packed fields and a comprehensive pumpkin market. All pumpkins at Bell's Pumpkin Patch are exclusively grown on-site, boasting a staggering array of over 300 pumpkin and squash varieties. The on-site Pumpkin Outlet shop showcases each variety for visitors to explore.
