Pumpkins galore as The Alnwick Garden launches Halloween and half term celebrations

Visitors can find 200 real pumpkins throughout The Garden, enjoy an array of seasonal decorations and discover the hidden selfie spots dotted across the grounds.

For younger guests, the Halloween duck race and autumn scavenger hunt offer endless fun.

Ian McAllister, The Garden’s strategic head of marketing, explained: “From the moment visitors walk through our gates, they will be greeted with a celebration of the season.

“We are embracing the end of summer and encouraging everyone to join us by wrapping up warm, grabbing a hot drink, and unwinding in the serenity of the Garden this October.”

Visitors are encouraged to pick up a complimentary Autumn Scavenger Hunt from the Atrium and spot signs of the new season.

The Halloween School of Poison is also running throughout half term, with adventure trails, potion brewing and slime making - free for under 16s with Garden entry.
