This October Half Term you can discover the secret life of pumpkins - a spooky, hands-on adventure the whole family can get their claws into.
Step into the world of pumpkins and discover amazing seasonal surprises dotted around the garden on a special trail - feast your eyes on a pumpkin banquet and see scarecrows showcasing different veggies used in the past for carving. It's all gourd fun!
Join in the free, daily drop-in family craft sessions for pumpkin-inspired crafts, perfect for little monsters ages 4+. Make a gourd monster, ghost or pumpkin yarn doll, felt pumpkin face or pumpkin envelope.
Or, book onto the special Welly Walks for under 5's for a garden adventure based on the much-loved children's book Guess How Much I Love You™, followed by a craft activity and story.
Feeling wild? Get up close and hands-on with some fascinating creepy crawlies with Zoolab - meet the likes of snakes, spiders and snails in the Garden Room.
Watch in awe as expert carvers bring a pumpkin to life – what insect will they reveal? See the carving masters from Sand In Your Eye at work and gather spooky inspiration for your own pumpkin creations at home.
So head on down to make the most of the break and enjoy some seasonal autumn fun!
