Attractions for 2017, supported by a staff double the size of the personnel in place at last year’s event, include two new and huge inflatables – a last man standing sweeper game and a farm-inspired assault course. Here’s a rundown of what’s currently confirmed at Undley Pumpkin Patch in 2017 with further announcements to come in due course. Sign up to join the Undley Farm mailing list to be kept abreast of events and developments at Undley Pumpkin Patch.

Maize Maze

The 2017 Maize Maze is set within an entirely new Pumpkin Patch site and is double the size of last year’s maze and the largest one (by far) ever hosted by Undley Farm Events. The enormous 2017 maize maze – the largest ever to be hosted at Undley Pumpkin Patch – makes an impressive and intricate form of a witch on a broomstick.

Pumpkin Picking from the vine or pre-picked selection

New for 2017: choose from pumpkin picking direct from the vine or from the pre-picked and now renowned “sea” of pumpkins – a highly pleasing and unusual sight to view set against the rural backdrop of Suffolk farmland. With thousands of pumpkins available and approximately 20 varieties of pumpkin on offer – ranging from small to huge – visitors in 2017 have been amazed by the incredible spectacle of pumpkins on offer with an excellent selection lasting right the way through October. The fleet of wheelbarrows – to transport your pick back to the (free) car park – has also been expanded in 2017. Also available is the incredible and ornamental selection of gourds and squashes.

Inflatables

As well as the covered pumpkin shaped bouncy castle, there are two new and huge inflatables on offer at the Undley Pumpkin Patch in 2017. The first is a Halloween inspired Last Man Standing sweeper game, which takes place within a covered, inflatable witch’s hat. The second is a farm inspired obstacle course offering an inflatable landscape to climb over, under and through.

Bale climbing installation

A bale climbing installation is in place at the 2017 Undley Pumpkin Patch offering a fabulous elevated perspective from which to explore and view the entire site.

Collect the stamp

The new collect a stamp stations add a further fun attraction for visitors to Undley Pumpkin Patch & Maize Maze in 2017 with eight stamps to collect throughout the entire site.

Craft marquee

The craft marquee offers food produce, seasonal treats, Halloween inspired offerings as well as a range of craft stalls selling: Halloween chocolates; candy apples; bunting and linen; Halloween props; candles; fancy dress costumes and walking pet balloons.

Crafts corner

Back by popular demand in 2017 – and free to take part in – are the range of seasonally inspired craft activities, including: pumpkin carving; spider making; create your own witch or wizard hat. All of these take place under the cover of the craft marquee with all glittery, sparkly and bright coloured craft supplies being provided for free.

Donkey rides

Popular year on year, the donkeys, namely William, Wayne, George, Gordon, Tinker and Taylor, have returned to Undley Pumpkin Patch in 2017 and happily offering rides for small people again in 2017.

Face painting

A true favourite at the Undley Pumpkin Patch – the resident face painters are back in 2017 and offering their incredible skills in support of the creation of absolute works of art.

Walking pet balloons

A complete hit last year, the walking pet balloon ‘pen’ (located within the craft marquee) has been reinstated at the 2017 Undley Pumpkin Patch. This year, you can choose from an even larger selection of these incredible and highly appealing animal inspired balloons.

Refreshments

Succulent quarter pounder burgers, hot dog sausages and breakfast bacon – all sourced from a local butcher – and served in soft rolls with a choice of onions, cheese and all the traditional sauces will be on offer at the Undley Pumpkin Patch barbecue.

In addition we now have a hog roast stand providing delicious hog roast baps with all the trimmings.

Also available on site is traditional pumpkin pie, pumpkin bread, incredible doughnuts complete with cinnamon sugar, as well as cold and hot drinks including the hugely popular hot chocolate with the works.

Further food produce is available within the craft marquee so don’t miss an opportunity to pick up a delicious treat to enjoy at home too.
