About the event:

Acres of Halloween fun

With over 10 acres of beautiful gardens to explore, little visitors at Compton Acres this Autumn half-term will be in for a Halloween surprise as they’re challenged to hunt for pumpkins nestled beside giant plants, under towering trees or beneath brightly budding flowers.

Taking place daily between Monday 27th – Friday 31st October, the historic garden attraction in Canford Cliffs will arm families with a map to assist in the search for the illusive orange coloured squash – collect yours at the ticket desk upon entry.

For those wanting to transform themselves from a little angel to a gory goblin before, during or after their pumpkin adventure, a talented face painter awaits at Compton Acres brand new Harbour View Café on Wednesday 29th October from 10.00am – 3.00pm.

Laura Hart, Compton Acres marketing co-ordinator says:

“We always try and provide activities that encourage children to explore the great outdoors and develop a love of nature so we look forward to inviting families to enjoy a fun Halloween activity together whilst discovering some rare and unusual plants alongside innovative plantings of more familiar flowers.”

A colouring competition will also run throughout for those wanting to express their artistic flair.

Entry is priced at a very un-scary £15.00 for a family ticket and reduced entry for children at just £2.00 each.

SPECIAL OFFER – From 1st November – 29th February an annual family pass will cost just £30 PLUS annual pass holders receive the added benefit of 10% off in Harbour View Café.
