I recently had the pleasure of visiting Tulleys pumpkin festival with family, and if you are interested in picking up some new Halloween festivities for the future, here is the Tulleys farm experience. 

Let me provide a fair warning to those who may be attending next year's pumpkin festival, try not to get lost on your way there, end up arriving half an hour late and then defending yourself through the excuse that in the dark all the winding roads look the same, and yes, I do speak from experience.  

Upon arrival, you are greeted by endless free parking, so no need to spend what feels like hours trying to find somewhere to squeeze in. 

 You then make your way through the hassle-free entrance, where once the workers are presented with your online ticket, they will stamp your wrist, and from then you are good to go in and out the farm without worry.  

From there, you can start your journey to the pumpkins. 

Going through the woodland path leading to the free-range pumpkins feels, in a way, magical.  

While you walk, you get to take in your surroundings which consist of fluorescent pumpkins, dapper skeletons, light shows and more!  

Although, I hope whoever’s reading this, unlike me, doesn’t have their experience interrupted by parents taking hundreds of photos. 

If you are wondering about what to eat, there is a range of different foods all offered for a reasonable enough price point.  

I personally enjoy ordering a deluxe hot chocolate every year.  

For £5 you are given a hot chocolate topped with whipped cream, marshmallows, and a flake – what more could you want in autumn.  

As this was my third year at the farm, but second at the pumpkin night (you can choose whether to go in the day or evening), I felt that I was familiar with everything – consider me an expert – but what I was made aware of is that they have live music in the bar, adding to the immersive and magical night.  

Overall, after my third time going to Tulleys pumpkin festival, I still enjoy it and recommend it greatly to anyone looking to amplify their Halloween spirit the next autumn to come.
