Hampshire farm opens Covid-safe pick your own pumpkin attraction

Ahead of a less-than-traditional Halloween, many farmers are looking for an autumn boost to their finances.

Among them is Sunnyfields Farm in Totton, Hampshire, that normally sells 60,000 pumpkins a year.

For 2020, the farm has opened a Covid-safe pick your own attraction with social distancing measures and a booking system.

It has also installed a giant mural made up of hundreds of individual pumpkins.
