You Can Still Visit If It’s Raining: Why Foxes Farm Is Perfect in Any Weather

A Rainy Morning Doesn’t Mean Your Adventure Is Over

You wake up, look outside and see raindrops sliding down the window. You might think your picking plans are ruined. But at Foxes Farm, the fun doesn’t stop just because the clouds appear. Our Essex pumpkin patch is ready for families who want a real autumn day out, even when the sky turns grey.

A Real Working Farm That Stays Enjoyable in Rain

Fields That Stay Easy to Explore

At our Colchester pumpkin patch, they grow in wide, tidy rows across a real working farm. After 10 years of pumpkin growing, we keep our fields easy to walk through, even when it’s wet. You can still wander through thousands of the crop without feeling like you’re sinking. 

Perfect for Families Travelling From Essex or London

Many families travel from towns like Colchester, Chelmsford, Braintree, Maldon, Great Dunmow and even London because they know the experience stays friendly, calm and simple in any weather.
 

Why Rain Makes Your Visit Even More Magical

Pumpkins That Shine in the Raindrops

Light rain makes the pumpkins sparkle and the fields glow. Your photos look straight out of an autumn storybook, with orange pumpkins shining against the soft grey sky.

If the rain becomes heavier, you’re still completely sorted. We have lots of undercover activities inside our barns, giving you space to play, explore and enjoy the farm without getting wet. It means your day can continue happily, no matter what the weather decides to do.
