An Oswestry farm attraction is gearing up for its Halloween event by taking delivery of 3,500 pumpkins.

Park Hall Countryside Experience will host Pumpkinfest on October 11, 12, 13, 18, 19, and 20, and daily from October 25 to November 3 during half term.

Richard Powell, joint owner-director of Park Hall Countryside Experience, said: "Our Pumpkinfest event provides the perfect level of spookiness, that isn’t too scary for youngsters.

"There will be pumpkins galore, with no Halloween gore."

Mr Powell added: "Leave all the mess of pumpkin carving with us.

"We’re lining up fun activities this Halloween with our pumpkin alley, singing pumpkins, pumpkin games, the Little Scare House, and The Witches Cavern, which will provide a super day out for the family.

"Whatever the weather, there are lots of activities throughout the farm, inside and outside, which are included in the Pumpkinfest tickets.

"Indoors we have a role-play village, sand and water play, brickworks, a demon drop slide, under four's sensory play area, music room, science area, planet room, multiple museums, and a chance to meet the rabbits and guinea pigs.

"Or take in the fresh autumn air outside with the Crazy Farm Adventure Course, Woodland Adventure Play Area, zip wire, barrel train rides, and tractor rides, or see the rabbits in Burrow Land, the goats in their playground, and the pigs racing."

Advance online tickets are £2 cheaper than on the gate.
