Fiends, Flames & Folklore
For an evening of Halloween fun, join us on Saturday 31 October for Fiends, Flames & Folklore, an alternative to trick or treating!
Explore a spooky illuminated twilight trail through the country park before enjoying spectacular fire juggling displays. There will also be marshmallows to toast around the fire and a sweet treat activity to enjoy along the way. With two arrival times available, at 5pm or 6.30pm, families can choose the session that works best for them.
Spirit of the Woods Halloween Trail
Step into the spirit of the woods over Half Term week and explore the woodland on a spooky family trail. Follow the trail through the country park and discover the mysterious world of the forest as you make your way through the trees. Pick up your trail sheet from the Woodland Café and set off on your Halloween adventure.
