โœจ๐ŸŽ† We are SO incredibly excited for this yearโ€™s Fireworks Extravaganza at Spilmans AND weโ€™ve got two nights to choose from: 28th & 29th October! ๐ŸŽ‡๐ŸŽƒ

Think marshmallow toasting by the fire, live music, street food and our wonderful walkabout charactersโ€ฆ all building up to a sky full of fireworks. โœจ

Every year we listen to you, our amazing visitors and add new ideas to make the night even more magical. If we pause for a moment and look back at how far weโ€™ve come, we know one thing for certain โ€” we couldnโ€™t have done it without YOU. This event is for you and we cannot wait to welcome you back for round two of fireworks this year ๐Ÿงก

๐Ÿ”ฅ Hot tip: many families love to make a full day of it by booking both Pumpkin Festival tickets + Fireworks tickets on the same date. That way you get the best of everything โ€” all the daytime fun (carving, rides & pumpkins galore) followed by fireworks at night. We canโ€™t think of a better way to spend an autumn day! ๐Ÿ‚

๐ŸŽŸ Tickets are selling quickly.. so gather your family and friends and join us for the ultimate autumn night out.

Open until 9pm this weekend ๐ŸŽƒ

Our festival days usually finish at 7pm, but when a Pumpkin Nights event follows we stay open until 9 โ€” and if you're here on a festival ticket, you're very welcome to stay for it.

So this Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th October there's no rushing and no watching the clock. Come early, take your time, and stay to see the farm change as the light goes.

Autumn is in full swing here and we're halfway through our 10th anniversary Pumpkin Fest. We've been a real working farm since 1941 and this is our favourite time of year by a mile.

While you're here:
๐ŸŽƒ The giant pumpkin pyramid โ€” you have to see the scale of it in person
๐Ÿชข The zip line, which we'll be honest, has had more adults queuing than kids
๐ŸŽญ Wizfords Academy stage show
๐Ÿ’ƒ Halloween disco with Skelebones
๐Ÿšœ Tractor rides, jumping pillows, corn cannon and plenty more
๐Ÿ• Wood fired pizzas, street food and the farm cafรฉ

๐ŸŒ™ Pumpkin Nights running both nights until 9pm โ€” live music, Live MC, our two person fire show, fire pits and festoon lights.
