As the leaves begin to turn and the air grows crisp, Northampton’s beloved pick-your-own pumpkin farm, Sunnies & Spooks, is preparing to welcome visitors once again. With over 30 varieties of pumpkins on offer, this family-run farm located on Bugbrooke Road is a must-visit autumnal destination.

Sunnies & Spooks is more than just a farm; it’s a place where memories are made. The family behind this charming venture takes pride in offering interactive experiences that leave visitors with a sense of joy and a beautiful pumpkin to take home. Whether you’re a family seeking a fun day out, a group of friends looking for a unique experience, or simply someone who loves the magic of autumn, Sunnies & Spooks has something for everyone.

The farm’s unique charm extends beyond the pumpkin fields. Visitors can enjoy food and drink from a converted 1940s railway carriage cafe, and there are plenty of photo opportunities to capture those special moments. The farm is also home to a variety of colourful wheelbarrows, adding a vibrant touch to the pumpkin picking days.

Harry Fromant, joint owner of the farm, describes Sunnies & Spooks as a place with a “warm and family-friendly feeling”. He encourages everyone to embrace a day out in the wholesome Northamptonshire countryside, and take advantage of the unique pumpkin experience that is not overly commercialised.

The farm will open for pumpkin picking on October 5 and remain open until Halloween. Visitors can choose from a “massive choice” of pumpkins, with the team busy preparing props for memorable photo opportunities. Tickets for pumpkin picking can be secured online, and booking in advance is advised.

So, mark your calendars and prepare to experience the magic of autumn at Sunnies & Spooks. Whether you’re a returning visitor or a first-timer, this delightful farm promises an unforgettable day out in the heart of Northamptonshire.
