So here is a list of the best places to go pumpkin picking in Surrey, and the important info you need to know for 2020 🙂

Oh this looks so fun. I do want to go pumpkin picking this Autumn so I may have a look-see at what’s near me x #DreamTeam
We lived in Chertsey for many years so I can vouch for both Garsons & Crockford Bridge Farm – & for Christmas trees too! #DreamTeamLinky
Love both of them – we’ve booked to go to both this year haha!
Ooh yes do – it’s really fun and definitely gets you in the Halloween spirit 🙂
We have never done pumpkin picking but as I live in Surrey it would be a shame not to go to one of these! Thanks for linking up with #dreamteamlinky
Aw I didn’t realise you were a Surrey girl too, yay! 🙂
That is too cute!! I am guessing Halloween will be cancelled here. Not entirely sure what will happen. #KCACOLS
Yes I’m sure a lot of things are cancelled here too. Luckily pumpkin picking is quite easy to still socially distance but obvs depends on restrictions where you are x
I’m so excited it’s almost pumpkin picking time again. Halloween may be different this year but I think this is one of the few activities we can still enjoy safely since it’s outdoors. #KCACOLS
Yes exactly, lots of things are cancelled I think but pumpkin picking seems to be ok 🙂 x
Fab list! We love halloween and pumpkin picking! Thanks so much for linking up at #KCACOLS. Hope you come back again next time.
Thank you – glad you enjoyed it 🙂 x
I think this will be a great activity for this autumn. I have a big list for the West Country and will link back to yours as well #KCACOLS
Oh fab, amazing. I will check yours out too!! 🙂
We’re off to Garsons next week for Pumpkin Picking, we’ve been going for the last few years, it’s so much fun! #KCACOLS
Ah amazing, we’re going next weekend yay 🙂 Yes we go every year too, love it 🙂 Enjoy! xx
Oh, how I love Halloween and pumpkin picking! I actually love pumpkins as fall decoration and must have made a ton this last week. Check them out https://hellosewing.com/how-to-make-fabric-pumpkins/

Ahh it looks amazing 🙂 Beyond my expertise though haha, but I am the world’s worst at sewing! 🙂
I definitely need to look at getting somewhere booked! Iris hasn’t been too bothered by Halloween but has asked for a ‘PUNGKING’ bless her!
