Akenham Hall transforms into a magical Pumpkin Patch each autumn, with fields bursting in shades of bright orange. Families can pick out the perfect pumpkin for carving, enjoy tasty treats from the coffee station and food stalls, and let your little ones have a blast on the bouncy castle, take donkey rides, try their hand at archery, or dress up for some memorable photo moments. We love this patch so much we’ve been twice in one weekend and L’s had at least three donkey rides! It’s something a bit different and we like that the fact it’s free entry allows us to spend more on the activities and any pumpkins we pick.
