Picking Patch – Fordingbridge

Halloween maze and PYO pumpkins in Fordingbridge at Picking Patch
This picking patch is in the new Forest just near Ringwood. We love spending time exploring the location during spooky season with the maze, fields and food/drink and toys for the kids to buy. Loos on site too.
The kids love exploring the maize maze which had interactive areas around the corners and the maize towering above.
Tons of camera opps for the family both in the maze and the pumpkin fields.
Pay for what you pick with the pumpkins and you measure size at the end.
Booking for the maze is required and you can book the Halloween Maze on their website please follow the below link.
