It's finally October! Which can only mean one thing - it's now officially autumn, and no one can say otherwise. We know there are two camps - summer lovers and autumn enthusiasts, but now the 'ber' months have arrived, it's time to immerse yourself in spooky season without judgment. From quaffing down pumpkin spice lattes to cosying up and watching Gilmore Girls, it's the season of orange hues, and nothing symbolises the season more than a visit to a pumpkin patch. Patches were originally only really seen in the US, frequented by the likes of Kim Kardashian and her little sister, Kylie Jenner.
Now, though, there are numerous patches popping up all over the UK, including in London and the surrounding counties, too. Many of these autumnal-themed masterpieces contain the most incredible selection of pumpkins, squashes, and seasonal produce, as well as varieties of great photo opportunities for your Instagram feed. It's a great day out for all; a fabulous place to take children, but also a wholesome, outdoor activity that symbolises Halloween. We've rounded up the best pumpkin patches we think will satisfy your autumn craving! So grab a cinnamon-laced drink and get scrolling…
