Pull on those wellies, get the kids out in the fresh air and inject some autumn vibes into your half term holiday.

Here's the pumpkin picking farms open to families this weekend and across the October school break...

PYO Pumpkins, Beluncle Farm, Hoo

Beluncle Farm in Hoo is offering prebooked slots to its pumpkin fields. It is open this weekend and then daily over the half term holiday.

Chilton Manor Farm, Sittingbourne

The field is open on Saturday between 10am and 4.30pm and on Sunday between 10am and 4pm and then every day until Halloween - or until the farm sells out!

You won't need to prebook a slot to visit but may be asked to wait if the field gets particularly busy just to allow for social distancing. Visitors are also reminded to keep groups to no more than six people.

Pumpkin Garden, Spadework, Teston Road, West Malling

The charity for adults with learning disabilities is hoping that visitors to its pumpkin picking patch will help boost the organisation's funds which have been hit hard by coronavirus.

The field is now open every day to visitors right up until Halloween and there is no need to pre-book but numbers will be carefully controlled to enable social distancing.
