Humble Bee Farm Pumpkin Festival 2026!

Humble Bee Farm’s annual Pumpkin Festival will be ready for all pumpkin pickers starting from October 17 - and this year it promises to be bigger than ever and tickets are now available.

New for this year is the toddler pumpkin patch and an extended pumpkin patch meadow if guests would like to stretch their legs.

There will be the Halloween witch with her magic cauldron, which will be part of the fun on all dates during the festival.

Guests young and old can choose their very own pumpkin for carving, while carving takes place in one of Humble Bee’s barns which is decked out with fun bunting, carving kits, tables and benches, festoon lighting and other spooky items.

The onsite café bar, The Hive will be open serving hot food, flavoured milkshakes, barista coffees and seasonal cocktails from The Hive Cafe Bar and other seasonal treats.

 Humble Bee Farm is located at Flixton, between Filey and Scarborough, is a working farm and is host to glamping cabins, yurts, lodges and cottages.

Owner-manager Julia Warters, who manages the site alongside husband John Warters, said: “We are really looking forward to hosting our Pumpkin Festival which starts on Saturday 17th and on selected dates throughout October, with sessions starting at 10am.

“There are just three sessions on our pumpkin festival dates: 10am, 11am and noon.

“We love children of all ages to attend so our toddler pumpkin area will be great fun for tots, and we’ll have a pumpkin meadow for people to explore.

“Regulars and new guests are guaranteed a fun event, with pumpkin carving, Hive café bar will be open for refreshments. Families can choose a pumpkin and carve it, play in our Mini Bees indoor play barn, explore the farm walks and visit our outdoor Honeypot outdoor play area.

 “There are lots of fabulous photo opportunities and there is plenty of free car parking for those with tickets, dogs on leads are also welcome.

 “Guests will also get chance to see our Farmyard Gang which includes alpacas, Tilly the Shetland Pony, our retired donkeys, our friendly goats, rabbits, guinea pigs, ducks, hens and sheep.”
