Creatures Of The Night
Join us for a hair-raising Halloween this October half term with two terrifying trails offering a ghoulish abundance of fun; pumpkin carving, and Halloween themed craft activities!
Pensthorpe will be transforming into a land of magic and mystery this October half term… Mini witches and wizards can enjoy a whole week of eerie-sistible adventures including creepy woodland trails, scary scarecrows and petrifying pumpkin carving (£3 per pumpkin.)
We have two spooktastic trails across the park – venture into the depths of the park and find all the Creatures of the Night and solve the clues to get a prize! Or for the little ones head over to WildRootz to examine some Freaky Feet with our trail in collaboration with our fang-tastic friends at Start-Rite Shoes. There’ll also be pumpkin carving, spooky crafts and devilishly tasty treats in the cafe.
