There’s plenty of family fun to be had this October Half term at the Halloween Festival at Matlock Farm Park!

Come and walk along the spooky trail in the woodland and see some familiar Halloween characters at different prop sets. Don’t worry – it’s fun, not scary! From Wednesday 25th to Tuesday 31st October, there will also be brilliant Halloween characters to meet on your way through the spooky trail at set times of the day. They might even offer you a broomstick flying workshop!

Of course, there’ll be a Pumpkin Patch! Buy a token and children with their grown-ups can grab a wheelbarrow to explore the patch and pick their favourite pumpkin. Carve it on the farm at the carving stations or take it home with you!

Witch Wendolyn will be running her craft workshops for little ones to make some lovely keepsakes, and Matlock’s legendary headless horesman will be making an appearance late afternoon.

PLUS on the spot prizes for best fancy dress!

There will be all the usual animal delights of Matlock Farm Park too. Sheep Racing, Small Animal Petting, Meerkat Talks, Wallaby Encounters & Ferret Racing and daily Pony Rides* for children! Plus lots of opportunity to play, including the covered Enchanted Hamlet multi-zone play area,  indoor playcentre The Rainforest and outdoor Jumping Pillow!

*small charge applies for pumpkin and for pony rides. Pumpkins subject to availability.
