Spooky Halloween
Evening
Friday 31st October & Saturday 1st November 2025
Trick or treat? Are you ready for a night of thrills and chills?!
Back by popular demand, and after previous year's sell-out event, we invite you to join us for our annual Spooky Halloween Evening!
Dare to venture down our eerie trail... but beware, monsters might be lurking in the shadows!
Enjoy a spine-tingling array of Halloween-themed activities, from mesmerising fire performers and aerial acrobatics to spooky dancers and much more.
Don’t forget to bring your own carved pumpkin to be judged—and don’t forget to dress up! There may be treats (or tricks) for the winners... insert spooky laugh!
Meet many of our resident horses, animals and ghouls.
Admission is just £6.00 per person, which helps support our animal sanctuary.
Our cozy café will be open, offering light snacks like hot dogs, warm sausage rolls, and steaming hot chocolate to keep you fueled for the frights ahead.
Remember to wear sensible footwear and dress warmly (it might get cold and wet!). Most themes are outdoors, but some are indoors or undercover.
VERY limited tickets available.
