The Pumpkin Patch Colchester

Very mixed feelings with this place. We really wanted to love it, and our 5 year old did have a good time, but felt it really lacked atmosphere. We went on a weekday and there was nothing open. The burger van was the only thing open when we arrived and it shut earlier than the patch closed so didn’t even manage to get anything. Music was playing when we got there but then they turned it off which was a shame. Loads of photo opportunities everywhere, and it was well kept. Maze was good, and a nice addition to your usual pumpkin patch. In the maze however loads of the signs had been scribbled on or knocked down. It made it hard to read some of the clues & a bit confusing for the kids. Only saw one staff member but she was friendly & helpful on arrival. There was loads of stuff for kids to do (games, bouncy pillow, hay bales to climb etc). Spent like an hour and a half there ish, but felt like if some food or drink vans were open, or even the marshmallow toasting then we could have spent more time there. Seemed a bit pricey for a short amount of time. And we weren’t aware of how little would be open, considering it’s not a huge price difference between weekday and weekend (especially since it’s half term). Would love to try again maybe on an evening or weekend but feel like can’t justify the price for a second time!

Excellent family fun day out & a huge variety of pumpkins to choose from. A little overpriced but you sort of expect that at these type of events. Only 1 bad comment and that was the toilets were obviously not monitored as i had to search them all for toilet paper. Will definitely return with the family next year though.

Had such a great day... we picked pumpkins, got lost in a corn maze, searched for wellies, toasted marshmallows and had plenty of photo opportunities. These are the memories I will treasure thanks to Foxes for making it happen. Will be back again next year.

Foxes Sunflower Farm is a wonderful place for a family day out! We loved the beautiful sunflower picking experience, it was well-organized and fun for all ages. The children’s play area kept the kids entertained, and the photo props around the farm were a lovely touch for capturing special memories. Everything was thoughtfully set up, making the whole experience enjoyable and family-friendly. Highly recommended!
