Pick Your Own Pumpkin Patch

Pull on some wellies and draw up a pumpkin wish list, because this Halloween you can choose your own pumpkin from a field full of the orange gourds. You'll probably need a car – the farm's a walk from the nearest tube and pumpkins are heavy – but there's no entry fee and prices start at £2.50 so it should be worth the petrol. Once you've made the big decision you can have a go at the farm's maize maze (£2 entry).
