Ludlow Pumpkin Fest 2023

The Humble-Bee Gardeners are returning this year with our Ludlow Pumpkin Fest! Our small local business started this tradition last year in collaboration with Csons Ludlow.This year we are back to keep the new tradition with more days for you to visit, and more fun, food and games. And, of course, our organic pumpkins will be there, waiting for you too. There are already some monsters growing!

Since last year we’ve learnt a lot about growing pumpkins – it’s definitely not as easy as it sounds. We have planted them, hand weeded them (many times) and tended them among the wildflowers (weeds if you must).We have over 30–40 varieties of pumpkins and squashes for you.All are edible and can be used for many different yummy meals, so no waste! We saved a lot of seeds from our pumpkins last year (you can too!) and look forward to seeing all the different varieties.

We open the season with our first event on Saturday 14th October with Pumpkin Fest day – pick your own, family games, pumpkin carving, willow weaving demonstrations, produce stalls, some music and yummy food, hot and cold!

We then open on Saturdays and Sundays 14th & 15th, 21st & 22nd, 28th & 29th October and on Tuesday 31st October, with Halloween atmosphere. Admission this year is £5 per adult and £3 per child over 3 years. Under 3s go free. Entry includes one pumpkin per person.

We look forward to welcoming you back to celebrate the season and have a wholesome, fun day out! We will also be open during the week by appointment for groups for pick your own.To book this, contact us at grow@humblebeegardeners.co.uk or by phone on 07534 148 428.
