Hi, we are Sophie Davey and Pete Davey from the Rogate Pumpkin Patch.
00:06
We've been running the Pumpkin Patch for 10 years, this is our 10th year we're celebrating.
00:11
And to celebrate we grew sunflowers in our sunflower patch.
00:15
And along with that obviously we have all the normal things that you expect when you
00:20
come to the Pumpkin Patch. We've got loads of activities, lots of Instagram,
00:23
all sorts of installations, wondrous for little kids and of course pumpkin picking.
00:30
Which you can see behind us, the patch.
00:34
So tell me what the reaction's been like since you opened?
00:36
We opened last Friday, beautiful day, we were blessed with the weather,
00:40
Friday and Saturday and it's been ongoing, wonderful, wonderful, amazing reaction and
00:46
support from all our community locally and from Portsmouth and Southampton and we've
00:53
had people down from London. I mean a really, really great reaction.
00:59
Tell me, is there anything new this year?
01:02
Yeah, new things this year. We tried to grow some sunflowers last year but
01:06
we kind of got the timing wrong. But this year, by probably more than judgement,
01:12
they have come out and bloomed. So we have sunflowers at the end of October,
01:15
which is a bit of a niche. We've got an area called Dig It, where the kids can get in and
01:21
just dig. We've got all sorts of stuff there, tables around the outside, mum and dad can watch.
01:28
We've got a lot of the normal stuff that you might have seen before but if you haven't been before,
01:32
we have all sorts of installations, magical houses to explore, a maze maze.
01:39
A very beautiful pumpkin garden.
01:41
Yeah, the pumpkin garden is an amazing thing for tiny little kids.
01:45
Babies, we've had sort of six-week-old babies and there's extraordinary installations that
01:51
you can put your baby into to take a photo. Yes, very beautiful, very special moments
01:57
to create those memories. Another thing to celebrate our 10th year is that this year,
02:03
as Halloween is on the Thursday, we are open Friday and Saturday where everything will be the
02:09
same. All the same installations, all the rides, everything will be the same. However, as an extra,
02:14
free of charge, we are going to set something up so that you can come and smash pumpkins. We're
02:20
going to set things up so you can either smash them, you can chuck them, you can sling them or
02:25
you can throw them at spikes. And it's just a way of smashing them up so that when you've all left
02:31
and when we've packed up the site, the cows can come and eat. Or winter, or grazing them.
