Medway’s pick your own pumpkin patch in Hoo, Rochester, will open tomorrow.

One of Kent’s most loved Halloween activities has been great seasonal fun for visitors of all ages since it opened in 2010.

Visitors can choose their perfect pumpkin from a selection of thousands.

As well as carving, pumpkins can be used to cook up a tasty treat such as a warming curry.

A donation will be made from the profits to Crohn’s and Colitis UK & Crohn’s in Childhood Research Association.

The destination is usually very busy, so it’s advised to book tickets in advance on their website.
