The Maize Maze

The maze hides things like a skeleton on a bike, a giant spider’s web 

and a witch’s cottage. 

The Pumpkin Patch

Scattered around the field are information boards, scarecrows,

a house made of pumpkins 

and pumpkins of all shapes and sizes. 

Halloween Arts and Crafts

There is also a refreshments tent with Halloween themed arts and crafts. We made a witch’s broom and a tin can bat. 

Wheelbarrows

There are wheelbarrows that are free to use but bring something to put your pumpkins in when you get to the car.

Mud, Mud, Glorious Mud

This is an outdoor venue and can be very, very muddy. Be sure to bring wellies just in case!
