October half-term at Packwood

Join us this October half-term for our spooky outdoor Hallowe’en trail, follow the clues around the Welly Walk and help solve the mystery of Packwood’s ghost. Complete the trail to receive a tasty treat and activity booklet to complete at home.

Pop along to the café for a Hallowe’en themed treat and colouring sheets to keep the little ones busy!

Visitors can discover all sorts of activities to tick off their 50 Things list this October half-term. Whether it’s finding a way to catch a falling leaf, building a den or collecting conkers to challenge a friend to a game, Packwood has lots of space and nature to explore! In the shop there are books to identify trees, birds and bugs and binoculars and magnifiers to get closer to those creepy crawlies! 

So pull on those trusty wellies and head down to the woodland to follow the trail and help us solve the mystery.

The gardeners at Packwood have also been growing an abundance of bright orange pumpkins in the Kitchen Garden ready for October half-term. Fortunately they have many uses and may also end up as delicious soup in our café.

So crunch through the fallen leaves, admire the autumnal colours in the trees and don't forget to sample a warm bowl of pumpkin soup or orange hot chocolate in the Garden Kitchen Café after you've finished your trail.

The Hallowe’en event takes place from Saturday 27 October – Sunday 4 November from 11am – 3.30pm. Each trail costs £2.50 and children will receive sweets and a take home craft and an activity and quiz sheet for the fun to continue at home.
