Our characters will interact with families, entertain visitors and pose for fantastic Halloween photographs.

Individual characters and appearance times are subject to availability.

Watch The Fire Performer

Gather around for an exciting live fire performance during the evening.

Performance times will be confirmed closer to the event and may vary between sessions. Visitors must remain behind all barriers and follow staff instructions during the performance.

If the weather conditions make this element of the event unsafe to perform, this activity may be cancelled. This will not entitle visitors to a full or partial refund, provided the main Halloween Party remains open.

Come dressed for the occasion and get ready to show us your best spooky dance moves!

Outdoor Pumpkin Patch

Explore our outdoor Pumpkin Patch and choose from pumpkins in a variety of colours, shapes and sizes to purchase and take home.

Pumpkins are not included with admission and can be purchased separately, with prices starting from £1. Available sizes, colours and varieties will depend on the harvest and remaining availability.

Inside the Pumpkin Barn you will find:

The Pumpkin Barn has a flat surface and provides the most accessible part of the event for visitors who may find the outdoor areas difficult to navigate.

Maize Maze

Find your way through our outdoor Maize Maze as darkness falls.

The Maize Maze is situated on natural ground and is subject to weather, crop, ground and safety conditions. It may be restricted or closed if conditions become unsafe.

The temporary or complete closure of the Maize Maze will not entitle visitors to a full or partial refund, provided the main Halloween Party remains open.

Children must remain with their accompanying adult inside the maze.

See the Highland Cows

See our adorable Highland cows and take photographs from outside their paddock.

The Highland cows are a viewing attraction only. Visitors must not feed or touch the cows, shout at them, climb over the fence or enter their enclosure.
