This is your one-stop site for everything you need to know about living in Hertford with children.
More and More pumpkin picking events are being added to our webpage daily. A full whats on for October Half Term guide will follow but as many of the popular pumpkin picking attractions in Hertfordshire do book quickly we thought we'd put this together sooner rather than later.
Some of these are Halloween days out which include Pumpkin Picking as part of the entrance fee (Like willows and Foxholes) some like Church Farm and Aldenham country park are optional add ons to your day (which must be booked and paid for in addition to entry) and some are just PYO Pumpkin attractions.
We will add on local PYO venues as they are added but many of the below are booking fast so without further ado heres the details we have currently.
