This rustic Cork Pumpkin Patch is back for Halloween (with some spooky surprises)
All aboard for autumn.
The much-loved Ballinadee Bus Pumpkin Patch in Cork is getting ready to swing its doors open again — and this year, it promises more than just picture-perfect pumpkins.
With a rustic charm and oodles of spooky surprises, it’s set to be one of the most enchanting (and eerie) stops of the season. The best bit? The coffee and baked goodies are epic too.
Here’s a peek at how it all went down last year…

Located on an actual animal rescue farm just outside Bandon, their pumpkins (and their popular coffee truck) are prepped for one of the busiest occasions of the year; the Ballinadee Bus Pumpkin Patch opens on Wednesday, October 1st, 2025 with a haunted fire truck, spooky scarecrows, and a scary blue bus to explore for kids, alongside plentiful pumpkin spice lattes for grown-ups.
Visitors can pick a pumpkin from the patch to take home, while meeting all of the farm’s adorable rescue animals, including goats, sheep, pigs, chickens, alpacas, ponies and donkeys.
Ticket are available to book now at €15 for adults and €12.50 for kids and €49 for a family of four. Kids aged under two go free.
