Halloween treats and no tricks at Sharnfold Farm’s October half term event

The farm attraction between Eastbourne and Hailsham also has a spectacular pumpkin and Halloween display. The perfect setting for some seasonal pictures of the children.

There is also the opportunity to take part in a 30-minute craft activity. The children were able to make a monster fridge magnet and use scratch-art to create a mask of their choice. The craft activity took place under cover in a barn adorned with Halloween decorations. Following the craft activity, children can throw some balls in to the monsters’ mouths in a fun game on Monster Alley.

Families can then take part in the Bewitched Monster Trail for the chance to win a prize. The trail is suitable for all ages - little ones will love spotting the pictures of monsters as they take a muddy walk through the farm and woodland at Sharnfold. The older children will crack a code to solve the mystery.

The usual attractions at Sharnfold, including a recently-refurbished play area, are also available. Children will also love picking out a pumpkin to buy and carve at home. The farm shop and cafe is the ideal place to pick up something for dinner or enjoy some lunch or a snack.

The popular Halloween events all started on October 26 and will continue until October 31.

Donna Bull, from owner Kent Entertainments Limited, said: “This is a great way to get children out of the house and into the spirit of Halloween.

“Here at Sharnfold we pride ourselves on offering a fantastic day out for the family, and this is just another example.

“We are offering a monsterrific day out, suitable for all the family. Embrace this half-term and join us.

“It is not weather dependant and fancy-dress Halloween style will certainly be welcomed as well.

“We cannot wait to see all your Halloween costumes and spooky faces.”
