Matlock Farm Park invites you to a pumpkin-filled Halloween adventure!

Equipped with wheelbarrows, festival-goers can explore the pumpkin patch and choose the perfect pumpkin for carving. There's even a dedicated carving station for those who can't wait to unleash their creative talents or take them home for future spooky decor.
