This year's pumpkin trail theme is all about the stories behind your Halloween costume - see if you can find the 10 trail points around the gardens, complete all of the challenges and learn some interesting and spooky history along the way. Have a go at spooky skittles, pin the tail on the witch's cat, race to build Frankenstein's Monster and much more!
Remember to wear sturdy footwear as you may be walking over grassy areas which may become muddy and slippery if wet.
