There is children’s wheel barrows that they can put in their chosen pumpkin. Hawarden Estate Farm is usually decorated and there are lots of great photo opportunities.

I have spoken about Hawarden Farm numerous times. It is such a lovely place to visit. After pumpkin picking your children to play on the adventure play ground or even treat yourself to some delicious food from Hawarden Farm Shop.
