A Family-Friendly Halloween Event

The Spooktacular event at Ash End Children's Farm is designed to be spooky rather than scary.

The event barn features a winding Halloween-themed trail leading to a friendly wizard, with snakes, lizards and other creepy creatures along the way. There are plenty of Halloween decorations and spooky details to discover, but there are no big scares.

For younger or more timid children, there is also a separate pumpkin-picking area, meaning children don't have to go through the spooky trail to enjoy picking their pumpkin.

That makes the event suitable for families with children who enjoy Halloween but may not be ready for frightening haunted-house-style experiences.
