Where to pick pumpkins in Ireland in autumn 2025
Places to pick pumpkins near me this year?
Your local farmers market or fruit and veg shop will have plenty pumpkins on sale of course but selecting one fresh from the farm definitely adds a fun element. And many of these farms have lots of other autumn treats and events on too.
Be sure to book tickets or call before you travel. Typically these are outdoor events and often on working farms so dogs may not be allowed and some places just aren't suitable for buggies. Oh, and maybe pack wellies and rain macs, and even waterproof overalls for the smallies.
Sunday, October 5 and 12
Tickets €20 and Family of four ticket €32.50 on Eventbrite
Pumpkin picking slots available from 10am to 3.30pm each day. No dogs except special assistance dogs.
The majority of the site is accessible for buggies and wheelchairs. Some areas, such as the pumpkin patch, are not accessible. There is a wheelchair accessible bathroom.

No dogs allowed. As this is a working farm the access to the pumpkin picking field is not suitable for baby buggies and wheelchairs
for muddy conditions — a tip from the experts: "We would advise to come the first weekend of October as you would have the best selection of pumpkins and the best of the ground conditions."
