Youngsters in Oswestry will be able to celebrate Hallowe'en after a popular destination has set up a socially-distancing event for all families.

Park Hall Farm in Oswestry, is set to hold another Pumpkinfest, which is set to return to the farm for the October half-term holiday.

The team are making some changes to ensure it can be enjoyed in a socially-distanced format to put people's minds at rest.

Richard Powell, joint owner and director at Park Hall, said the opportunity to be able to put on an event that will give young and old plenty of fun – and not too scary – was too good to miss.

She “We want to provide Halloween fun that won’t terrify the little ones.

"It will be a great day out for the whole family.

"Grown-ups can get involved helping to carve the pumpkins, and they can revel in leaving all the mess with us!

“The Pumpkinfest fun and all of our usual farm activities are included in the ticket price.

"Visitors can meet the farm animals, play outdoors, enjoy sand and water play, and ride on our barrel train ride.

"You can also see the rabbits in their new Burrowland home.”

The event at the Oswestry attraction will run from Saturday, October 17 until Sunday November 1, giving Shropshire families some entertainment over half term and Halloween.

Bosses at Park Hall are limiting the number of visitors on site to ensure everyone is able to socially distance with ease, so pre-booking tickets via the website is essential.

Tickets are now live and the farm has reported that demand is already high.

There will be a free pumpkin for every paying child to choose, carve and take home, a spooky scarecrow trail through the woods and around the farm, and a haunted farm area to walk through.

There will also be a daily Halloween fancy dress competition, so visitors are encouraged to come wearing their spookiest outfits.

Tickets for Pumpkinfest must be pre-booked at www.parkhallfarm.co.uk
