Garden Lights Direct Illuminates Farmer Copleys Pumpkin Festival With 200m+ of Festoon Lighting

RIPON, U.K. - EntSun -- Garden Lights Direct has supplied more than 200 metres of commercial-grade festoon lighting to Farmer Copleys for its 2026 Pumpkin Festival at Ravensknowle Farm near Pontefract.

The 2026 festival marks the event's 20th anniversary, with visitors welcomed to fields containing more than 300,000 homegrown pumpkins across over 40 varieties. The festival programme includes tractor rides, live entertainment, vintage fairground attractions, witches' storytime and evening twilight sessions.

A standout feature for 2026 is the Land Rover photo installation, created in collaboration with Vertu Land Rover Leeds. The display pairs one of the farm's own vintage Land Rovers with a modern Defender, surrounded by pumpkins, hay bales, chrysanthemums and the distinctive "Love Grows Here" pumpkin heart.

"It's great to be able to supply the lighting for such a fantastic event. The festoon lights look absolutely stunning and really help create that magical atmosphere Farmer Copleys were aiming to achieve," said David Wood, Director at Garden Lights Direct.

Inside the barns, orange paper lanterns and Halloween displays are complemented by additional ambient lighting, while the large festival tent features strings of festoon bulbs above its seating, bar and performance areas.
