One of the UK’s best pumpkin patches is on a family-run farm loved by Scousers. Located just off Winwick Lane in Croft, Warrington, Kenyon Hall Farm has welcomed generations from across the north west for decades.
Research from Outdoor Toys has uncovered the UK’s must-visit pumpkin patches for 2025. By looking at factors such as entry prices, annual Google searches and Instagram posts, the team has revealed the top farms to visit in the run-up to Halloween.
Kenyon Hall Farm ranks fourth among the UK’s best pumpkin patches to visit for 2025, with a score of 7.35. It costs £2.95 for a child’s entry fee and £2.95 for an adult, making it a perfect day out for a Halloween-themed adventure.
Known for its seasonal events, rustic farm shop and cosy café, husband-and-wife Tod and Barbara Bulmer are the current farmers and owners, alongside their sons Simon and James.
Tod and Barbara joined the family business in 1978 and from there expanded to offer everything from annual strawberry picking to their popular farm shop and café.

With October in full swing, Kenyon Hall Farm has now opened its gates for the annual pumpkin festival. The family event runs until Friday, October 31, allowing visitors to explore a massive patch of more than 20,000 pumpkins, enjoy the seasonal displays and create lasting memories with pumpkin photo opportunities.
Weekend tickets have already sold out and while it may be possible extra tickets are released closer to Halloween it will depend on weather conditions and pumpkin availability.
James previously told the ECHO: “We’re halfway between Liverpool and Manchester, and so there’s something like 10 million people within a 20-mile radius. We are a visitor destination, and people travel from all over the north west – definitely from Merseyside.

“Funnily enough, it’s the Pumpkin Festival where we get most customers coming from Merseyside. There seems to be something about Liverpudlians that like pumpkins, but they come throughout the year as well.
“And we’re only 20 minutes down the M62 from Liverpool, so it’s a very easy trip in for people that want to come this way.”
Kenyon Hall Farm Shop previously made a list of the 35 best farm shops compiled by The Times. The shelves of the farm’s shop are filled with everything from fresh fruit and vegetables to jars of homemade jams and chutneys and trinkets and gifts made by local independents.
The farm shop has long attracted customers from across the region, as well as some famous faces. Last year, Love Island stars Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury paid a visit.
