Dear Pumpkin Patch Friends,

We're back — and more excited than ever to welcome you to Michael's Pumpkin Patch 2026!

I'm Michael, your host and pumpkin fanatic, and I can hardly believe we're already preparing for our seventh autumn season together. What started as a little idea when I was just 13 has grown into something I could only have dreamed of. Every October, seeing families, friends and neighbours making memories in the patch reminds me why I started this journey and why I keep looking for ways to make it even better each year.

This year marks another exciting milestone, with 12,000 pumpkins and gourds planted across the patch, making it our biggest crop to date. From planting right through to harvest, an incredible amount of work goes into creating the experience, and we can't wait to share it with you.

🎟️ 2026 Tickets & Pricing

We've made a few changes this year to continue improving the experience while keeping it great value for families.

✅ Entry is €35 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 — ✨ Every 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.
