Thousands of Pumpkins Head to Park Hall
A popular farm attraction in Oswestry is preparing to launch its annual Pumpkinfest this October. Park Hall Countryside Experience has 3,500 pumpkins heading to the farm to kick off the autumn event.
Pumpkinfest will run on October 3rd, 4th, 5th, 10th, 11th, 12th, 17th, 18th, and 19th, and then daily from October 24th to November 2nd during half term.
Every paying child will receive a free pumpkin to carve in the farm’s pumpkin shed, which they can take home at the end of the day. Halloween activities will include Pumpkin Alley, The Little Scare House, and a Spooky Trail. The team will also lead games such as ‘pass the pumpkin’ and the ‘mummy wrap’.
Richard Powell, joint owner–director of Park Hall Countryside Experience, said families love getting into the Halloween spirit at the event. “Pumpkinfest is a big hit with families, where we have just the right amount of spookiness that isn’t too scary for our young visitors. Thousands of pumpkins will be waiting to be picked from our large indoor pumpkin shed, lovingly carved in the adjacent shed, and taken home. Parents can enjoy leaving all the mess with us!
“We’ll have lots of Halloween fun, with singing pumpkins and games around the farm. Access to the whole attraction is included with Pumpkinfest tickets. Indoors, families can enjoy the Little Oswestry Role Play Village, sand and water play, brickworks, a demon drop slide, under-4s sensory play area, music room, science area, planet room, multiple museums, and the chance to meet rabbits and guinea pigs.
“Outdoors, visitors can take in the fresh autumn air with the Crazy Farm Adventure Course, Woodland Adventure Play Area, zip wire, Big Blue Tractor Ride, Burrow Land rabbits, goat playground, pig racing, and plenty more animals. We promise a family Halloween day out to remember.”
Advance online tickets are £2 cheaper than on the gate and can be purchased at www.parkhallfarm.co.uk.
