Pumpkinfest returns to Park Hall The Countryside Experience this October!
From the 17th October until the 1st November join us for some Halloween fun that won’t terrify the little ones!
We have made a few changes to ensure we are keeping you all safe and socially distanced, but we promise there is still lots in store this half term!
There will be a free pumpkin for every child to choose and take home. Grown ups can help scoop out the pumpkin and so you can carve your very own design.
We will have a spooky scarecrow trail through the woods and around the farm, and a haunted farm area to walk through.
We will be holding a Halloween fancy dress competition every single day of Pumpkinfest, so don your spookiest outfits for the trip!
All this pumpkin fun and all of our usual farm activities are included in the ticket price – meet the animals, play outdoors, ride behind a tractor, and have fun in our sand and water play, and role-play village. You can also see the rabbits in their new Burrowland, and hand feed our lovely goats.
As we are limiting numbers at the farm it is essential that you pre-book your tickets via our website at www.parkhallfarm.co.uk.
The trolls have lost their pumpkins! 🎃
For Halloween, we’re asking you to investigate the Follies to find the missing pumpkins! Walk through the tunnels, trails, trees and so much more to find the missing pumpkin letters, then head to reception to gain your Pumpkin Detective Certificate!
Book your tickets to the Follies in advance at www.hawkstoneparkfollies.co.uk
Admissions from 10am, last entry 2pm.

Open Art Exhibition at the Artists’ Gallery.
This autumn ‘The Artists’ Gallery’, a cooperatively run gallery space in Bromfield, Ludlow, will open its doors to a wide range of local artists and creative practitioners in a three-week showcase.
As with many small businesses, creative arts practitioners have been hit hard by the effects of Covid-19 and the knock-on effect that has had on the economy. Some artists have suffered the crippling loss of a years worth of events. Where temporary exhibitions, showcases and fairs are their only retail outlet, many creative practitioners find themselves without a ‘shopfront’ for their work.
Historically the eight permanent members of ‘The Artists’ Gallery’ have supported other creative businesses by offering weekend ‘pop-up ‘events in their large warehouse space adjacent to the main gallery. These ‘Open Art Days’ have been a way of enabling a wide range of artisans to have an affordable showcase for their work. Facilitating them in presenting it to the public in a ‘meet the maker’ setting. The cooperative group now seek to offer a longer-term exhibiting solution in a specially curated event spanning the three busiest shopping weeks of the year – from the 31st of October until the 22nd of November.
As the event is focused around supporting local makers, the event is not for profit and the entry fees for the event will be used in promotion and building the infrastructure to make the event look and feel like a large gallery space. Businesses have needed to think laterally with the unexpected effects of the virus and the safety of both artists and visitors to the event is paramount. The gallery will adhere to its normal stringent cleaning policies and visitor numbers will be capped with a rolling rota of the visiting artists being available at the gallery on set days to minimise the number of people at the event, a one-way system will also be in place.
The eight members of the gallery hope the event will provide a footing for other businesses who have lost their income streams due to the virus and help kickstart customer spending in the creative arts sector in the area.”

21 Local artists and creative practitioners will be showcasing their work for a three-week pop-up event hosted by The Artists’ Gallery. The cooperative gallery space is situated on the Ludlow Farm Shop site, Bromfield, managed by 8 independent artists and crafts people, open daily to the public. The exhibition will provide the fantastic opportunity to purchase a unique range of gifts, from a selection of local creatives, in a safe, light and airy space, compliant with all current governments regulations. We hope you can join us and support our creative community!
