Tulley's Farm, West Sussex

Halloween is what Tulley’s does best. Expanding every year to now include a full Shocktober Festival alongside its pumpkin picking (AKA multiple scare mazes, rides and lots of live-action experiences), it also boasts 60 acres of pumpkin picking and 450,000 gourds grown every year – the largest PYO farm in Europe. Fun fact: they take payment in Cryptocurrency.
