It is the most in-demand pumpkin patch in the country this Halloween, with people searching for the award-winning venue on Google a total of 625,000 times in the last year.

At £12.95 for both adults and children, it is the most expensive UK patch in the study, but has the benefits of a free pumpkin for kids and expert pumpkin carvers on hand, along with admission to the farm, outdoor and indoor play areas, and reptile house.

On social media, Cannon Hall Farm is the second-most popular of 40 pumpkin patches across the country, with over two million views on the TikTok hashtag and 19,000 Instagram tags.

It is the UK’s seventh best pumpkin patch overall, when taking into consideration price, location, social media popularity and google searches, according to the data from Outdoor Toys.

Slots at the farm, which is a 40 minute drive from Sheffield, are available on the weekend of October 14 and 15, and every day from October 21 to 31.
