Pumpkin Picking in Surrey | Things to Do 2024
Everyone loves pumpkin picking, don’t they? It’s something that is on so many calendars, something families look forward to and that children get excited about for months. It’s one of our favourite things about autumn and I’ve been researching more places we can go pumpkin picking in Surrey.
When is pumpkin picking season?
Pumpkin picking season in the UK officially stretches from October to December but, traditionally, it’s something we only do in October. It usually starts right at the beginning of October with places allowing you to pick pumpkins all the way through half term and up until Halloween.
Why should you go pumpkin picking?
Pumpkin Picking is a fantastic family activity and a great way of getting outside during the autumn and having classic family fun. Plus, you can spend time together carving pumpkins or making pumpkin treats in the kitchen afterwards! Pumpkin picking is such a tradition – a great outdoor event and definitely something to add to your plans this October.

Garsons is one of my favourite places from childhood. It’s somewhere we went a few times every summer and I have such fond memories of picking everything from strawberries and blackberries to potatoes and sweetcorn. It’s always been such a wonderful place to spend time.
