Pumpkin Picking Manchester
Planning some Halloween fun? Pumpkin picking is one of the best family activities to do over the Autumn period. Typically, venues start their pumpkin picking events from late September / early October. It's a great day out for the kids, and a fun evening activity spent carving in your spooky designs. Being a Manchester based business, we thought we'd highlight some of the best places to go pumpkin picking around Manchester.

Wrap Up Warm
Now that Autumn's here, we're already starting to see darker evenings and early mornings. Regardless of what time you're going pumpkin picking, chances are it's going to get colder as Halloween approaches, so it's important to be prepared with the right clothing before you go pumpkin picking.
For the little ones, they'll definitely need either a puddle suit or a nice warm coat that'll see them through the Autumn/Winter - there's plenty to choose from in our new range of boys & girls winter coats. Combined with some accessories like hats, gloves and scarves, along with a pair of kids' wellies, they'll be all set for outdoor fun in the seasons to come.
Fancy a browse of our new season range? You can discover stylish, warm coats over on our men's jackets & women's jackets collections.
