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.
