It’s that thrilling week everyone’s been waiting for (kids, and maybe a few grown-ups too!). Halloween is here, bringing a host of fun activities across London. And one of the best? A trip to a pumpkin patch! Secretts Farm is sure to make it a memorable adventure.
Join DOYOUSPEAKLONDON today as we celebrate Pumpkin Week at Secretts Farm, full of delicious, spoon-ready pumpkin treats and plenty of fun!
Secretts Farm, award-winning farm in Surrey
Secretts Farm, an award-winning destination in Surrey since 1938, first caught my eye online with its exciting Pumpkin Week event for Halloween. After the amazing experience my family and I had at Cammas Farm a couple of years ago, I couldn’t wait to dive into the fun again!
But Secretts Farm is more than just a pumpkin patch. It also has a charming shop packed with a wonderful selection of artisan food and drinks, featuring seasonal, home-grown fruits and vegetables.
Plus, it’s home to one of Surrey’s largest cut-to-order cheese counters, featuring over 300 British and European cheeses, many sourced locally. It’s no wonder the locals are so excited to have such an incredible selection available all year round!
Even though I’m not a local, I couldn’t resist visiting Secretts Farm to explore the pumpkin patch and all the delightful Halloween decorations I’d seen online.
I booked our tickets in advance, and after about an hour’s drive from London, we arrived bright and early to enjoy the festivities before the crowds arrived.
Secretts Farm Halloween decorations
Pumpkin Week is in full swing at Secretts Farm, running for eight days over the October half-term, from Saturday 19th to Wednesday 30th, 2024. From picking the perfect pumpkin to enjoying delicious seasonal treats, there’s plenty of spooky fun to enjoy!
Visitors can wander down a spooky, decorated walkway that leads straight to the pumpkin patch. Perfect for family photos and some Halloween fun!
Each day is packed with activities for everyone, from a lively fancy dress competition and a pumpkin-filled seasonal menu to countless fun experiences for all ages!
I loved the creative, spooky imagination behind the Halloween setups scattered along the way – from amusingly placed ‘dead bodies’ and giant, eerie spiders to playful, funny decorations.
There’s something for everyone here, and both kids and adults can enjoy the best of the Halloween spirit!
What might have been the most surprising – or even a bit unsettling – was just how much young kids enjoyed the creepy decorations. None of them seemed bothered by the skeletons or giant spiders around. They took it all in stride!
Secretts Farm pumpkin patch
After enjoying the delightfully spooky decorations, we set out to find the pumpkins to carve and decorate.
Armed with handy wheelbarrows, we strolled through the fields in search of the perfect pumpkins to take home.
After just a few minutes, we’d picked our pumpkins, paid according to their size, and headed home feeling delighted with our little harvest.
Secretts Farm: entertaining activities for kids
Just before leaving, we spotted even more fun activities for kids: a merry-go-round, mini pedal tractors, glitter tattoos, a cake-decorating workshop, and plenty of tasty Halloween-themed treats to enjoy!
It’s definitely the perfect place to keep kids entertained during half term! It has been held every year for the past 15 years, so if you haven’t been yet, you’ll have the chance to discover it next year!
