There will also be plenty of pumpkin-themed entertainment available at the pumpkin patch, such as a train and pumpkin pyramid, as well as  face painting, fairground rides, a mini play park and a bouncy castle.

Various food and drink stalls will be on offer including Acropolis, Poco Loco Mexican, Truly Madly Pizza, Meat Stack Burgers and Deep North Artisan Doughnuts.

Co-founder and director of all of the attractions based at Lintz Hall Farm, Nigel Holliday, said:

“Every year Family Fright Fest sells out so we wanted to add in an additional element which centres around something synonymous with this time of year – pumpkins.

“As Lintz Hall Farm is such a huge area it’s great that we can run Pumpkin Patch in another part of the site, making it easily accessible.

“It’s going to be another brilliant day out for youngsters and their families.”

Tickets for the pumpkin patch are priced at £3 with an additional cost for pumpkins. To book tickets or find out more please visit the Family Fright Fest website.
