Where to go to pick pumpkins in Ireland in 2024

Out Pumpkin This Where Pick Autumn To Own Your Find

There are lovely bright pumpkins at your local farmers market or fruit and veg shop but selecting one fresh from the farm really adds a fun element. And many of these farms have lots of autumn treats and events on too. Be sure to book tickets or call before you travel. Typically these are outdoor events and often on working farms so dogs may not be allowed and some places just aren't suitable for buggies. Oh, and maybe pack wellies, and even rain macs for yourselves.
