Pumpkin Basics Day is one quiet Friday inside The Patch MK Pumpkin Festival, the autumn season at a working family farm outside Milton Keynes. It sells on the same Pumpkin Patch Days ticket, but the roaming entertainment is switched off and the farm shuts early.
What to expect:
- One date only: Friday 23 October 2026, 10.30am to 3.30pm
- The farm calls it “our quieter Pumpkin Basics Day”
- “Roaming entertainment and additional activities will not operate and The Patch will close at 3.30pm”
- Two timed arrival slots, 10.30am and 12.30pm
- “Pumpkins are purchased separately, so you only pay for the ones you want to take home.”
- “we provide a wheelbarrow per group free of charge”, and parking is free
- “we recommend dressing for the conditions and bringing waterproofs and wellies if rain is forecast”
- The farm does not describe this day as a relaxed or SEN session
