Orange buzz building at Pumpkin Patch 2024

Despite the drizzly start, which is set to clear, the second weekend of Pumpkin Patch Kildare 2024 was building up to what looks to be a busy day, writes Brian Byrne. Bookings for this weekend and next are strong, according to organiser Amanda Lambe.

There's enhanced traffic management on the site at Moortown, just south of Kilcullen, and new features include a cornfield maze, a dual slide, and more food truck options.

And, as with last year's inaugural event, opportunities to meet up with farm animals and ponies, and enjoy the centrepiece pumpkin-picking enclosure itself.

During the Diary's quick visit this morning, it was clearly setting up to be a family selfies photography special space for today and tomorrow.
