SPECTACULARLY SPOOKY ACTIVITIES TAKING PLACE THROUGHOUT THE WEEK.
Halloween Trail
(21–29 OCTOBER) Forest School Holiday Club
(24–26 OCTOBER)
Follow Tawny Owl, Guardian of
the Woods, and his loyal friend
Spider on a mysterious self-
guided trail around the Park. Really Wild Wooders popular
holiday club is back! Days will be
full to the brim with learning how
to use a whole range of different
tools, lighting fires, camp fire
cooking, creating woodland
crafts, building dens, climbing
trees, and exploring our amazing
forest school site.
Owl Encounter

Get up close to one
of nature’s most beautiful
nocturnal creatures. Meet a range
of different Owls, learn about
their behaviour and witness the
majestic night predators soar
silently above your head.
Audience participation is not
uncommon!
Pumpkin Carving
(23–29 OCTOBER)
Save your kitchen from getting
messy this Halloween and carve
your pumpkins with us! We'll
have lots of ghoulish ideas to get
you started at our carving station.
Woodland Witches
and Wizards
(28–29 OCTOBER)
Join us deep the woods over
Halloween weekend as we
conjure up some friendly forest
spirits. We’ll work together to
make broomsticks, wands and
spider webs. We’ll toast sticky
marshmallows over the open fire
and explore the woods hunting
for creepy crawlies and things
that go ‘boooo’!
Open Air Cinema: Hocus Pocus
(28 OCTOBER)
As darkness descends on the Park we'll be firing up the big screen to
show cult family favourite, Hocus Pocus (1993) under the stars. Pack a
comfy chair, a warm blanket and a hamper. Sit back, popcorn in hand;
relax and enjoy an alternative cinema experience under the stars.
