About This Event

During the October half-term period, Sissinghurst Castle Garden in Hastings invites families to pick pumpkins from their vegetable patch for a small fee. Visitors can enjoy taking home their chosen pumpkin or participating in creative carving workshops available for an additional cost. The event offers a seasonal activity that children and adults can share together within the historic garden setting. Admission is required for entry, with specific charges applying for both pumpkin selection and workshop participation.

This October Half-Term, pick a pumpkin for £5 from our vegetable patch to take home with you this autumn.

Feeling creative? Join one of our pumpkin carving workshops afterwards for an additional £5.

Choose the perfect pumpkin from the vegetable patch, then bring it over to the neighbouring picnic area where you can draw and carve your own design.

All children must be accompanied by an adult.

There are two ticket types available:

£5 ticket: Pick your own pumpkin (one pumpkin per ticket)

£10 ticket: Pick your own pumpkin, including the carving workshop (one pumpkin per ticket)

Visitors must pre-book to secure their place as pumpkin numbers are limited.

When arriving on site, please show proof of purchase at Visitor Reception and the vegetable garden.
