Dear Pumpkin Patch Friends,

We’re back — and more excited than ever to welcome you to Michael’s Pumpkin Patch 2025!

I’m Michael, your host and pumpkin fanatic, and I can hardly believe we’re already here planning our sixth autumn season together. What started as a little idea when I was just 13 has grown into one of my proudest accomplishments. Every October, seeing families, friends, and neighbours making memories in our patch reminds me why I started this in the first place and why I keep dreaming up ways to make it even better each year.

This year we’re building on everything you’ve come to love while adding some thoughtful improvements to make your visit even more magical, more affordable, and more fun.

🎟️ 2025 Tickets & Pricing

We’ve made some changes to our ticket system this year to keep things fair, family-friendly, and sustainable.

✅ Entry is €30 per car (up to 5 people).
✅ Bringing more than 5? No problem — it’s just €5 per additional person.
✅ Every car ticket includes:

• Access to all the experiences on site

• A €10 pumpkin voucher per car

• A goodie bag & drink for each child

• Tea or coffee & a biscuit for each adult

And don’t worry — ✨ Each additional person ticket includes the full pumpkin patch experience, plus a voucher for either a child’s goodie bag & drink or an adult’s tea/coffee & biscuit — just like everyone else in your group!

We’ve had to adjust our pricing slightly this year to reflect the realities of running the event, but this helps us:
✨ Hire more friendly staff to keep everyone (and the animals) safe
✨ Keep pumpkin prices lower on site
✨ Stock fresh pumpkins daily to replace the ones that get dropped, stepped on, or bruised
✨ Ensure an even better experience for you and your family

And as a bonus — 5% of all ticket sales this year will be donated to charity, which we’ll announce soon on our Facebook page!

🌾 What’s Waiting for You This Year?

🎁 Goodies & Treats

🍔 On-Site Vendors
We’re adding some brilliant food & drink vendors this year — to be announced soon — so you can grab a bite while you’re here.

And of course — we’ve got a few new surprises planned that we’re keeping secret for now… stay tuned!

We operate on staggered parking slots to ensure everyone has plenty of space and time to enjoy the patch. Please arrive within 30 minutes of your booked time slot.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for supporting my little dream and helping it grow into something so special for our whole community. I can’t wait to welcome you back this October for another unforgettable season of autumn magic.

See you soon! 🎃👨‍🌾
Warmly,
