Pumpkin Picking in Lancashire

Pumpkin picking in Lancashire is proving as popular as ever, with loads of farms, pumpkin patches and family attractions opening throughout October.

If you’ve already looked through our Pumpkin Picking in Preston guide and fancy heading slightly further afield, this Lancashire roundup should give you plenty of ideas.

There’s a real mixture here too — some places are all about traditional pumpkin picking, while others turn it into a full family day out with farm animals, fairground rides, food, photo opportunities and Halloween activities.

Updated for 2026: I’ve checked the opening dates, prices and booking details below and will keep adding any new information as venues announce updates.
