The farm will be hosting Pumpkin Fest from tomorrow until the beginning of November, and people of all ages are invited down to join the fun.

Visitors can hop on the trailer for a ride to the pumpkin patch, before picking their own.

They can then head to the potato field and pick a bag of spuds to take home and cook. Halloween fans can then carve their pumpkin into a spooky face in the hay barn and enjoy lots of pumpkin themed fun and games.

Farmers Ray and Richard will be on hand to talk about all the latest goings on at the farm, and visitors can also leave their mark on a colourful mural wall to celebrate the future at Lower Drayton Farm.

Farmer Richard Bower said it was going to be an excellent Halloween at the farm.

Pumpkin Fest runs daily from tomorrow to Sunday, November 3 from 10am to 5pm.

Last admission is 4pm. Visitors are encouraged to wear wellies, suitable outdoor clothing, and bring gloves as the pumpkin stems can be spiky.
