Looking for fun things to do with the kids this October half term near Saffron Walden?

Join us for a magical, family-friendly day out in the beautiful North Essex countryside. Climb aboard our Halloween train for a magical journey deep into the forest. The tracks are lined with charming, not-too-spooky scenes for all ages. As the train winds through the golden autumnal trees, passengers will spot bears dressed up like mummies, a vampire, skeletons and scarecrows!

You will stop in the woods to meet the ever-entertaining Pumpkin Queen and her magical crew. There will be an interactive show and each child will receive a gift before they head back to the woodland station.

Once you’re off the train, little witches and wizards in training can create their very own potions at our hands-on potion-making experience. For an extra sprinkle of magic, visit the stage area where a friendly Witch and Pumpkin will put on a lively interactive show about the origins of the Pumpkin Queen.

We are very excited to introduce our new and improved Pumpkin Village! You will be able to buy your own, and pose for pictures. Whether you’re looking for the perfect pumpkin to take home and carve, or the perfect backdrop for your Halloween photos. There will also be mini golf plus the ideal addition to your autumnal day out: our Marshmallow toasting station. Stand by the fire, and warm up with a delicious gooey treat! (There will be an additional cost for mini golf and marshmallow toasting.)

Take a tour around our shortened Fairy & Elf walk, some have stayed for Halloween! Take a look at their spooky houses! Families can then enjoy time in the playground, sip hot chocolate from the café, and take in the crisp autumn air surrounded by the changing colours of the forest.

If you’re looking for a day out near Saffron Walden, Essex with the children – this ticks the boxes! As dusk arrives enjoy the twinkly lights! Come along for a day in the great outdoors, stay for the spooky-not-scary magic, and leave with warm memories of a joyful autumnal family day out.
