Maidstone: Pumpkin Moon Pick Your Own Pumpkin site will return with more than 50 varieties for Halloween

A Pick Your Own Pumpkin business which started out last year is to return for a second year with an even bigger range.

Last autumn, Charlie Eckley launched Pumpkin Moon at Boarley Farm in Sandling, Maidstone, offering a day out picking pumpkins and squashes.

The working farm had 13 different varieties and proved hugely popular with visitors.

This year Charlie will launch Pumpkin Moon on Saturday, October 7 with a staggering 50 plus types of pumpkin, squash, gourds and sweetcorn.

They come in weird and wonderful sizes, shapes, colours and have unlikely names from Monster Smash and Polar Bear to a squash called Pink Banana.

He believes that many visitors will have never seen some of the varieties on offer - or the range of colours and sizes.

There will also be food and drink on offer for visitors. Last year, Pumpkin Moon also donated £2,500 to the British Heart Foundation and the Heart of Kent Hospice.

Entry is free and visitors pay for what they pick. The site will be open on selected days and then every day from Friday, October 20 to Sunday, October 29. To find out more, visit pumpkinmoon.uk

Half term Halloween fun for all the family
