5 pumpkin patches near Dublin to head to with the fam during mid term

Fiona Frawley

Is a week off at home with the kids giving you war flashbacks to the homeschooling days?

Seeing pics on Insta of pumpkin patches but haven’t a notion where any of them are?

Fear not, here are a cheeky selection with pumpkins still available, that’ll make for a great family activity this week. It’s seasonal, it’s wholesome, and looks great on the gram! What more do you need, really.

Kavanagh Christmas Trees, Newtownmountkennedy

Don’t worry, I haven’t got my seasonal foliage mixed up. Yes, these guys do Christmas trees, but they’ve also got a gorge pumpkin patch open right through to the 31st. And for those of you who like to plan ahead, if you preorder your tree while you’re there you’ll get a pumpkin free of charge! More info HERE.

Killruddery House & Gardens, Bray

Head to Killruddery this Friday and Saturday to select the perfect pumpkin, and carve it up at one of their carving stations.
