Pumpkin Trail & Treats / Pumpkin Disco

Pumpkin activities and trail around the gardens – spooky fun and games for children. Come along in your Halloween fancy dress (adults too!). There will be a children’s fancy dress competition during the afternoon, which is judged at about 3:15pm in front of the Garden door of the House.

Bring along a pre-decorated pumpkin – there is a daily prize for the best one. Tip: they’ve had some amazing pumpkins over the years, but the judges will be looking for pumpkins that are mostly the child’s own work, rather than those decorated by adults.

The Pumpkin Trail will be followed by a Pumpkin disco for children with the combined Trail and Disco ticket in Knebworth Barns. The Disco tickets include a drink and a biscuit.

Arrival times are staggered this year – for those with a Pumpkin Trail only ticket admission is from midday (noon). Those with a combined Pumpkin Trail and Disco ticket admission is from 1:00pm.

On arrival, your child’s ticket will be exchanged for the Pumpkin Passport. As you work your way around the garden, the witch on duty at each game will stamp the Passport. Collect the stamps and present the Passport at the Gift Shop to claim a goody bag.

Non-participating under 2s are free. Children under 2 are welcome to join in, but please purchase a Pumpkin Trail ticket for them so they can have a Pumpkin Passport and goody bag prize, and also order the combine Trail and Disco ticket if you wish them to have the refreshments at the disco.

The Garden Terrace Tea Room will be open during the event for the sale of hot drinks and snacks. The Gift Shop and Dinosaur Trail will also be open but other Knebworth attractions including the House and Adventure Playground will be closed.
