EUROPE’S biggest pumpkin festival is returning this autumn for its most immersive experience ever.
The iconic pumpkin patch, loved by celebs, welcomes thousands of visitors every year and it’s set to make an epic return.
Tulleys Farm has become an annual tradition that’s a must-do around Halloween for many Brits.
The West Sussex attraction boasts Europe‘s largest pumpkin patch with 1.5million pumpkins in over 100 varieties available to pick and take home.
Set across more than 100 acres of sprawling Sussex countryside, Tulleys Farm is just a 45-minute drive from central Brighton.
Priding itself on offering “more than just pumpkin picking”, the farm has so much on offer and has levelled up for 2026, preparing to welcome guests for its “best season yet”.
Opening its gates once again from September 19 until October 31, Tulleys new Pumpkin Festival will offer the ultimate autumnal experience.
Nestled in the newly created Pumpkin Valley, the festival will bring live entertainment, tasty seasonal food, unique shopping and roaming performers for families to enjoy.
The enchanting attraction promises some magical escapism, as guests “wander along winding paths, with wooden bridges leading across gentle streams and peaceful ponds”.
Speaking about the new experience, Tulleys Farm co-owner, Sam Beare, said: “We have always believed the Pumpkin Festival should evolve every year. We are excited to introduce the Pumpkin Valley for 2026.
“Our vision with Pumpkin Valley was to create something truly unique, an area that pushes the boundaries and immerses guests in an entirely new world,” he added.
“The Pumpkin Festival is so much more than just picking a pumpkin, it’s an experience for all generations and we look forward to welcoming our guests back for what we believe will be our best season yet.”
Guests can visit by night, too, for an even more marvellous experience.
The after-dark events, kicking off from September 26, offer illuminated woodland trails, spectacular photo opportunities, delicious cocktails and tasty treats, live music along with an unforgettable atmosphere.
Tulleys will no doubt be as popular as ever this year, so its advised to book in advance, with tickets available from £8.95 per person.
