Pop-up Pumpkin Patch
A memorable photo opportunity
while increasing dwell time.
A Pop-Up Pumpkin Patch is a charming and engaging seasonal installation that brings a touch of the countryside into town. Designed for urban spaces, town squares, retail environments and public events, it’s the perfect centrepiece for Halloween trails, October half-term activities, or autumn-themed campaigns.
Visually striking and fully self-contained, the pumpkin patch offers a memorable photo opportunity while encouraging families and visitors to linger, explore, and enjoy the atmosphere. It works well as a standalone attraction or as part of a wider autumn or Halloween event.
