Scarborough’s most popular adventure destination, North Yorkshire Water Park is encouraging local families to get into the Halloween spirit with a spooktacular lineup of activities this half-term! From brand-new pumpkin carving to pumpkin trails around the lake, there’s something for everyone – and it’s all on dry land, making it a fang-tastic day out for all.

Available to book from Saturday 26th October and running until Sunday 3rd November, children aged 4 to 16 can join the daily Pumpkin Carving sessions held at 10am and 2pm each day. These brand new and interactive workshops allow kids to pick their own pumpkins in Adventure Wood before carving them in the specially decorated bushcraft area. The sessions are priced at £10 per child, which includes a pumpkin, and £5 for adults, with additional pumpkins available for an extra £5 for those that really want to harness the Halloween spirit.
