Witchville at Picking Patch Fordingbridge
The Halloween season here has a name of its own. Witchville takes over the fields off the A338 at Bickton each October, on the edge of the New Forest just outside Fordingbridge, and gathers pumpkins, mazes and making sessions under a single banner. Mazes are the backbone of the visit. The Living Maze is the main one, and the Witchling Quick Maze is the shorter option, which is useful if you have a toddler who will not last the distance. A separate Scare Maze sits alongside them for anyone who wants the version with a fright in it, so a family can split up and each take the walk that suits them. Away from the mazes there are Witchcrafts sessions, pumpkin graffiti for children who would rather decorate than cut, and pumpkin carving for those who want a finished lantern to carry home. Howloween at Dogville is part of the 2026 line-up as well, so the programme reaches past the pumpkin field itself. Tickets are sold online in advance rather than on the gate, and the farm asks you to book to claim your spot, so this is a trip to plan rather than one to fold into a spare afternoon.
Open from 2026-10-03 to 2026-10-31
