Celebrate the magic of autumn at Mr Pumpkin, a family-run pumpkin farm just outside Derby.

Set in the countryside, this much-loved seasonal event invites visitors of all ages to pick their perfect pumpkin straight from the field, with thousands to choose from in a wide variety of shapes, sizes and colours.

Now in its ninth year, Mr Pumpkin has grown to nearly 90,000 pumpkins across more than 50 varieties – from classic carving pumpkins to quirky, colourful and unusual shapes.
