About Doddington Hall

Doddington Hall offers a diverse selection of pumpkins, squash, and gourds, with thirty different varieties available for picking throughout October. The farm is committed to showcasing estate-grown produce, supporting local and British producers, and promoting biodiversity through their Wilder Doddington project, featuring rare breed Lincoln Red cattle. Their aged beef is a highlight, complemented by foraged and garden-fresh produce. Visitors can explore the pumpkin patch via a spooky walk, don Halloween attire, and expect muddy conditions. The patch is open daily from 9:30am to 4:30pm in October, with free entry and variable pricing starting at £3. Dogs are not allowed in the gardens or pumpkin patch.
