Before halloween weekend starts, families came dressed up to carve their spooky pumpkins! During the pumpkin carving workshops, we provided all the materials and pumpkins of all sizes. Using their creativity and fantasy, children and adults alike carved some amazing pumpkins. The Pumpkin Carving workshop is a great opportunity for the whole family to take part in to experience something different. During the first stage of carving a pumpkin, you need to carve out the pumpkin’s insides, or ‘brains’. Carvers empty the insides of their pumpkin inside the buckets we provide. Keep in mind that the insides of the pumpkin can be used at home to make pumpkin soup with, to roast the seeds or make delicious muffins. We encourage carvers to take their bag with pumpkin remains home to avoid waste. After the workshop, people took part in many activities around the park. Activities included a quest in the herb gardens, going on a scavenger hunt in the big maze and solving CSI crime scenes in the woodland. Afterwards, visitors tasted their complimentary cup of herbal Witch Brew tea. Freshly baked cakes and muffins, as well as delicious lunch meals are always available in our tea room for you to enjoy.
