What to expect

Venture into the Sinister Pumpkin Patch, but beware as this is no ordinary place, but one where Halloween spirits come to life! Once you collect your pumpkin from the Scarecrow, watch your step as you make your way to design spooky faces at the Creepy Craft Corner (carve at home!)

Pick up your Trick or Treat, snap terrifying pics at our hair-raising photo opportunities and get ready for a frightfully fun adventure for all the family!

Prepare for a night of thrills and chills that’s perfect for all ages!
