Family fun: Spooktacular

Carve out some family time

Try something a little different this Halloween, with a half-day of pumpkin picking, carving and cooking at Lainston House. 

We'll kick things off by letting the kids explore the kitchen garden and search for the perfect squash to make their own. Together you'll draw and carve spooky or silly faces, just in time for the trick-or-treaters later on. 

From there we'll show the kids how to use pumpkin flesh to make incredible scones. And to wrap up, their unhinged imaginations can take the reins for decorating a fleet of spooktacular pumpkin cookies. 

And the best bit? You get to take home the carved pumpkins and all the treats for later. 

*The price includes one adult and up to two children over 7 years old. Please note that an adult will need to be in attendance to supervise children at all times.
