Kirkstall Valley Farm is set to host a vibrant community celebration, bringing together two of its most beloved seasonal events in one exciting day.
A project of the Kirkstall Valley Development Trust (KVDT), the farm will open its gates for a joint event that promises something for everyone.
On Saturday, 25 October from 11am -2.30pm the Farm Team will be leading guided tours, offering visitors a behind-the-scenes look at how this community-powered farm grows fresh produce, supports local sustainability and nurtures nature.
Whether you’re curious about composting, crop rotation, or the farm’s volunteer opportunities, the tours will be a great way to learn and connect.
Meanwhile, the Children and Families Team will be hosting the Annual Pumpkin Festival, a much-loved tradition that brings autumn magic to life.
Families can pick their own pumpkins, enjoy seasonal crafts, and take part in games and activities designed to delight children of all ages. Expect face painting, storytelling, and plenty of photo opportunities with the farm’s festive displays. Book your ticket for Pumpkin Festival here.
“This event is a celebration of everything Kirkstall Valley Farm stands for—community, learning, and fun,” said Adele Rae, CEO of KVDT.
“It’s a chance for families to enjoy the outdoors, discover how food is grown, and make lasting memories together.”
The event will take place at Kirkstall Valley Farm, nestled in the heart of the valley, with easy access from the canal towpath and nearby bus routes. Entry is free, and refreshments will be available from West Leeds vendors.
