Come and Celebrate Autumn With Us

The Great Pumpkin Harvest returns to Copper & Holly this October, here on our smallholding just outside Brecon in beautiful Mid Wales.

Come and choose your perfect pumpkins from our harvest displays, wander through our Autumn Shop, stop for something warm and delicious in the café, and enjoy a little bit of old-fashioned Autumn fun outside.

No scares. No horror. No trying to turn everything orange and black.

Just pumpkins, good food, beautiful Autumn displays and all the glorious abundance of harvest time.

Opening Friday 16 October 2026
Open daily, 10am–5.30pm
While pumpkins last

FREE ENTRY • FREE PARKING • NO BOOKING REQUIRED

Plant Your Own Pumpkin Patch - May Half Term - Copper & Holly

Choose Your Pumpkins

Big ones. Little ones. Orange ones. Beautifully weird and wonderful coloured ones. And plenty of gourds for decorating the house too.

Our pumpkins will already have been harvested ready for your visit, so this isn't a traditional Pick Your Own field where you cut pumpkins from the vine.

Instead, we'll be filling the courtyard with abundant harvest displays where you can wander through and choose your favourites.

Some of the pumpkins have been grown here at Pontybat, with additional pumpkins brought in from other growers to make sure there's plenty of choice.

There's no entry charge and you simply pay for the pumpkins you choose.

Pumpkins are available while stocks last.

More Than Just Pumpkins

We wanted The Great Pumpkin Harvest to feel like a proper celebration of Autumn.

So once you've chosen your pumpkins, there's plenty more to discover around the courtyard.

Have a go at our pumpkin games, complete the photo challenge, discover how pumpkins grow and explore our Autumn displays.

And because we much prefer beautiful Autumn to scary Halloween, you won't find horror trails or frightening displays here.

Think harvest rather than Halloween.

It's a relaxed Autumn day out near Brecon for children, parents, grandparents — and dogs too.

Step Inside Our Autumn Shop

Autumn doesn't stop at the pumpkin displays.

Inside the shop we've created a series of displays inspired by the abundance of the season. Overflowing flowers and foliage, candlelight, beautiful table linens, apples, pumpkins and all those little details that make you want to hurry home and make everything feel cosy.

You'll find our own handmade home fragrance, seasonal pieces for the table and home, flowers and stems, little Autumn treats and ideas for recreating some of our displays at home.

Take your time and have a wander. Steal an idea or two.  We really don't mind.

Stop For Something Delicious

Our pop-up seasonal café will be open throughout The Great Pumpkin Harvest.

We'll be serving a small menu of things that feel right for a chilly October day, including homemade cakes, Welsh cakes, pumpkin soup, proper coffee and tea, hot chocolate and our Pumpkin Spice Latte.

At weekends, we'll light the fire pit too.  Somewhere to warm your hands, toast a marshmallow and soak up the atmosphere for a little while longer.

Because frankly, if there's ever a time for hot chocolate, cake and sitting beside a fire, October in Mid Wales is probably it.

Visiting The Great Pumpkin Harvest

When are you open?

We open on Friday 16 October 2026 and will then be open daily from 10am until 5.30pm, while pumpkins last.

We aren't publishing a closing date because once they're gone, they're gone!

We'll keep our website and social media updated as the harvest progresses.

Do I need to book?

No.

There are no timed sessions and no tickets to buy. Just turn up during our opening hours.

How much does it cost to visit?

Nothing.

Entry to The Great Pumpkin Harvest is free, and so is parking. You simply pay for any pumpkins, food, drinks or shopping you'd like to take home.

How much are the pumpkins?

Pumpkins are individually priced according to their size/type, with prices clearly displayed before you choose.

There won't be any nasty surprises when you reach the till.

What facilities do you have?

We have free hardcore parking and a compost toilet.

Please be aware that our shop does not currently have level wheelchair access. There are steps at the entrance. We will always do our best to help visitors where we safely can, but wheelchair users may require assistance getting into the shop.

If you have particular access requirements and would like to check something before travelling, please contact us before your visit.

Is it scary?

No.

The Great Pumpkin Harvest celebrates Autumn rather than Halloween.

There are no scary walks or horror attractions. Our displays and activities are designed around pumpkins, harvest, nature and the beauty of the season.

Are dogs welcome?

Yes. Well-behaved dogs are very welcome, but they must be kept under control so that we can protect our own animals, wildlife and other visitors.

Please clean up after them too. Nobody wants that amongst the pumpkins.

What happens if it rains?

This is Mid Wales in October. There is a reasonable chance it might!

Our car park is hardcore rather than grass, so getting your car stuck in a muddy field shouldn't be part of the experience.

Much of the pumpkin experience is outside, so come dressed for the weather. Our Autumn Shop and café offer somewhere undercover when the Welsh weather inevitably decides to join in.

Can I pay by card?

Yes. We accept contactless and Chip & PIN payments, as well as good old-fashioned cash.

Plan Your Visit

You'll find us at Pontybat Farm, Llanfilo, near Brecon in Mid Wales.

And When Autumn is Over...

Copper & Holly is a seasonal little place.

Once the pumpkins have disappeared and we've packed Autumn away, we'll start transforming everything ready for our Christmas Shop.

But we're not thinking about that just yet.

For now, it's all about Autumn.

Follow us on Facebook and Instagram for harvest updates, pumpkin availability and little glimpses behind the scenes as we get everything ready.

We can't wait to welcome you back to Pontybat.
