With different coloured wheelbarrows to use to collect the pumpkins, it is a rainbow in the fields on the pumpkin picking days.

Harry Fromant, who is the joint owner of the farm alongside his parents, was asked what makes Sunnies & Spooks’ pumpkin experience unique.

He said: “There is a really nice, warm and family-friendly feeling. It’s not overly commercialised and the people who work here are lovely.”

The joint owner joined the business around half a decade ago and says it is great to see the same people coming back year after year – as well as new families discovering what they have to offer.

Tickets for pumpkin picking can now be secured online, and Harry advises visitors to book in advance.
