Who said Halloween fun is just for kids? 👀👻

Join us for our adult only Pumpkin Patch on Friday 23rd October.

🕸️ Expect eerie vibes and after-dark access to the patch, with a few frightful touches along the way - don’t worry though, this isn’t a jumpscare attraction, just Halloween magic with some special witchy sisters.

Perfect for date nights, friend nights, or anyone who still loves Halloween just as much as the kids.

🎟️ If you are planning on joining us, don’t leave it too late to book your tickets! https://www.thearkopenfarm.co.uk/halloween-pumpkin-patch/
