A pumpkin patch the size of three football pitches is bursting with orange vegetables ready to be plucked and made into spooky lanterns this Halloween at Willows Farm.

The London Colney attraction is promising its best-ever Pumpkin Festival, which will run until this Sunday, November 3, and gives children the chance to harvest one for free.

Around 10,000 pumpkin seeds were sown at Willows earlier in the year and some fully grown plants have already reached 20kg in weight, which little ones can either take home or carve a creepy design into in the carving cavern.

Kids can also play several seasonal games including the Pumpkin Olympics, Pumpkin Hoopla, and Pumpkin Hunt.
