A PICTURE-perfect autumn awaits visitors arriving at Manorafon Farm Park this Halloween.
'Pumpkin Fest Nights' run throughout October on select dates. The first event is this Friday (October 20). Saturday, October 21 is already sold out! After Saturday, the next 'Pumpkin Fest Night' available is October 26.
During the evening events, visitors will have a chance to pick their pumpkins under twinkling festoon lights.
The 'Jolly Pumpkin' will act as a heated refuge and live music will play.
Outside, visitors can take a stroll along Manorafon's spooky Halloween Trail.
There will also be walk about characters and fire displays.
Sacha Dudley, Sales and Marketing Manager at Manorafon Farm Park, said: "Our event space is sparkling more than ever this year! We have used hundreds of lights to make it magical. Not to mention almost 10,000 pumpkins on our Patch and amongst the displays.
"We are hoping to attract everyone including friend groups, couples and work teams to Pumpkin Nights this year – we have a lot for people to enjoy even without the little ones.
"We’ll be joined by local bands at the Boppin’ Broomstick stage by the bar. This Friday it will be kicking off with Two Sick Steves and Red Clay Halo.
"We’re excited to announce fire performance group Bring the Fire Project will be performing at all Pumpkin Nights events."
Guests feeling peckish can take their pics from street eats, including Loaded Fries, Mac n Cheese, Hot Dogs and Toasted Marshmallows.
The Farm Park attraction will be closed during Pumpkin Fest Nights.
The day event - Pumpkin Fest - also runs throughout dates in October. [21, 22, 28, 29, 30 and 31].
Visitors can head out to the Pick Your Own Pumpkin Patch to pick their favourites, before heading over to the carving tent. Manorafon Farm Park will be offering traditional pumpkins, ghoulish gourds, tiny munchkins and spooky squashes.
New activities for 2023 include creepy critters and the new Horrid Hollows challenge.
Sacha said: "The fun doesn’t end there...watch the spooktacular Trick or Treat Show, meet our walk-about characters, get up close to some creepy critters and if you’re brave enough take on our new Horrid Hollows challenge.
"Add to the action by whooping some monsters at Billy Bob’s Shooting Range or make your own ghoulish slime in the Slime Lab.
"If you’re feeling peckish, we’ll be serving up a selection of street eats, including Loaded Fries, Mac n Cheese, Hot Dogs, Waffle sticks and Toasted Marshmallows."
Farm park admission also included.
