Ice Skating is great fun for all the family, and with Halloween events happening all over Manchester, there’s plenty to keep everyone entertained this October.

Pumpkin Picking

It wouldn’t be Halloween without a day trip to your nearest pumpkin patch with all the family, where you can pick your very own pumpkin and when you get home, why not have a pumpkin party and throw a pumpkin carving competition?

Obviously, depending on where you live may depend on what farm is most convenient for you! We’ll let you be the judge of that; however, here is a couple we recommend.

Visit Kenyon Hall Farm near Manchester for their pumpkin festival. It’s a little further out of Manchester but definitely one of the Halloween events that’s worth the drive. Be quick, though. Tickets tend to sell out early for this one.

A little closer to home for our Mancunian natives, Brookhey’s Farm in Altrimchan are hosting pumpkin picking events every weekend of October. And the best part? No booking is required! Once you’ve picked your pumpkins to take home, you can make a day of it and visit all the animals at the farm. A great day out for all the family!
