- Craft and activities for the kids
- Kids Games and Ride in Tractors
- Refreshments Cabin
- Kids Halloween Costume fashion show
- Kids Disco
- and more!
Plus of course the ability to vent some frustrations out on our lovely pumpkins!
It is estimated that 22.2 million pumpkins will be wasted in the UK. However it’s not just the pumpkins that are wasted. Two out of five Halloween costumes get thrown away after just one wear. This means an estimated seven million items of clothing are sent to landfill every year in the UK. So that's why we would like the kids to make the most of theirs and pop them on again for a fashion show!
For the last few years, we have been left with quite few pumpkins and even with lots of effort and contacting lots of people, we have been unable to give many of them away. Our cows and friends animals have enjoyed munching on them, but there were too many left over and not enough demand! Therefore this year, we plan to take out a proportion of the pumpkins and then the rest will be put back into the soil. The pumpkins produce nutrients to enrich our soil with goodness! Roll them, throw them, bowl them, drop them, stand on them. It time to get silly and come to help nature to compost our beauties! You can even bring your lanterns back to us that you purchased earlier on in the month, instead of putting them into landfill. Just take your candles out and any other things you may have put onto your lantern and squash them into the soil too!
For those of you who would like to still have a pumpkin, to carve, or to eat, the pumpkins will be 50p each on this day. DON’T TRASH IT, eat it or SMASH IT!!!
Book up to avoid disappointment and keep an eye on our social media for any updates!
