Halloween is just under a month away now and many of us will be looking for decorations and costumes in preparation for the season.

Pumpkins and pumpkin carving are also staples of this time of year, requiring you to get out and find your own.

Whilst finding one from a supermarket is useful, many people like the experience of going out to a farm to pick their own out.

There are quite a few places around Watford where you can go and do this in October 2022.

Where are the best pumpkin-picking pitches near Watford?

The farm shop has also announced that they will be coming back with their pumpkin-picking experience. 

Sharing on their Facebook page, they said: "We have been cutting pumpkins down the field today ready to bring home in the next week or two.
