Yes – there’s quite a difference between the two!

Pumpkin Fest is a family-focused daytime event, perfect for younger children. It includes extra activities such as the barrel train, maize maze, acoustic live music, a daytime pumpkin patch, plus children’s entertainment like a magic show and circus show.

Pumpkin Nights is an evening event aimed more at adults and older children/teenagers. It features a separate twilight pumpkin patch, live band, fire show, and entertainment designed for older audiences (still family-friendly, just less focused on young children). Please note that the maize maze and barrel train are NOT OPEN at Pumpkin Nights.

At both events, you’ll find delicious food, a fully stocked bar, marshmallow toasting, and spectacular pumpkin displays – so whichever you choose, you’re in for a treat! 🎃

The only differences are between the day and night tickets. The day tickets run up to 2:30pm and the night tickets run from 6pm onwards. All time slots in the day are the same experience and all time slots in the night are the same experience.

Pumpkin Fest takes place mainly on woodchip-covered ground, which can be uneven and may make access more challenging for wheelchair users and pushchairs.
