Once upon this Halloween, the Sea Witch has changed her ways, or so she tells us. So, instead of stealing the voices of little mermaids, this ogrish octopus is giving away mermaid singing tips to Fairytale Farm visitors during her mer-sing-along sessions!

The Sea Witch can’t resist a bit of mischief though; she has brought her beloved eels so she can view the outside world from her Enchanted Lair! Join in our trail activity and count the times you spot the Sea Witch’s slithering eel minions, who will be spying on you down the Enchanted Walk trail! Let the Sea Witch know when you arrive at her Enchanted Lair and receive a reward for out-spying her slithery eel minions!

You can also visit our ‘Pumpkin Patch’, where every child can pick a free pumpkin for Halloween. Be a creative pumpkin picker and carve a Jack-o’-Lantern with your chosen pumpkin or enter into our Paint-a-Pumpkin competition: Paint a funny, scary or cute face/design on your pumpkin in our Creepy Crafts marquee, take a photo and send to info@fairytalefarm.co.uk with the age of the child entering. Winners of each age group (5 & under, 6+ or 9+) get a certificate and a free family ticket (valid for 1 year)!

Have frighteningly good fun getting creative with Ribberty Rabbit Crafting who will be joining us again in our Creepy Crafts Corner.

Plus, If you come dressed frightfully boo-tiful for the occasion you will receive a sweet treat at admissions! Then, if you post a picture of yourself on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter, next to a well-known Fairytale Farm attraction, and share the post with Fairytale Farm, you’ll be entered into our prize draw to win a free family annual pass to the farm, valid for a year. Don’t miss Mother Goose and friends, who will be ready for trick or treating in their haunted forest glade and our mice will be scurrying around in the alleyways of Mouse Town ready to ‘Boo’ you!
