A farm an hour away from Manchester offers a fun day out for all the family celebrating everything pumpkin during the harvest season.

Pye Ash Farm near Macclesfield is a beef and sheep farm which is running its annual pumpkin maze event for the third year running.

The family-run farm started hosting its pumpkin maze in 2021, and the event has proven a huge success, with more visitors eager to pick out their own pumpkins and watch live sheepdog demonstrations every year.

The Gilman family has been running Pye Ash Farm since the 1930s. Their indoor pumpkin maze event is perfect for visitors who want to enjoy a pumpkin-themed experience, whatever the weather. The maze is open Saturdays and Sundays throughout October, and Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of the upcoming half term.

We went down to take a look and learn more about all the types of pumpkins available at the farm this harvest season.
