Pumpkin patch near Kidderminster thanks visitors for support

The Severn Valley Cottage Pumpkin Patch has reflected on a 2026 season that it says was filled with 'smiles, laughter, and wonderful memories'.

The pumpkin patch, which is located on the A442 near Kidderminster, is run by Dexter Lawley and his family.

In a statement posted on social media, the pumpkin patch was keen to thank everyone who had visited this year.

They said: “We just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who has visited the Pumpkin Patch this year.

“Your support, kindness and lovely feedback have meant the world to us.

“It’s been another incredible year, full of smiles, laughter and wonderful memories, and we couldn’t do it without all of you.

“Thank you to every single person who has come along and supported us. We are so grateful.”

Speaking previously to the Kidderminster Shuttle, Dexter said that despite adverse weather conditions that had affected the pumpkin crop, the patch had enjoyed its 'busiest year' since 2021, with visitors travelling hundreds of miles to visit the attraction.

He said: “We have been really lucky; I think people really appreciate what we have on offer.

“We’ve been super busy; it’s our busiest year ever this year so far.”

“We have had people come from as far as Southampton who have come to the pumpkin patch.

“We have had dates which are really sweet, and we even had a couple that were over 70 years old that said that it was on their bucket list to go pumpkin picking.”

Dexter was also keen to thank his friends and family for their 'incredible support'.

He said: “It’s taken a huge team effort to create such a wonderful pumpkin patch, and I’m so grateful to everyone who has helped and supported us along the way.”
