Halloween and festive fun at Larmer Tree Gardens
Follow the spooky trail in the woods at Larmer Tree Gardens on the Wiltshire/Dorset border, and meet Madame Pumpkin for a "spooktacular" time (Sun 29 Oct). The children can have their photo taken with her and the collect a treat at the end of the trail at the Coffee Grove Cafe. There’s lots of witchy fun making potions and crafting, or getting “freaked out” by the creepy crawlies at the Live Animal Show (£10 per child, £5 for adults and under 2's free). The gardens are open Sunday to Wednesday, 10am to 4pm until the end of October.
In December, those seeking unique and crafty gifts will enjoy the festive cheer at Larmer Tree Christmas Market, Larmer Tree Gardens on Fri 1 Dec (6-9pm) and Sat 2 Dec (10am-4 pm). Entry is a fiver for adults, which includes a festive drink, and under 12s go free.
