Pumpkin Trail & Treats

Pumpkin activities and trail around the gardens – spooky fun and games for children. Make sure you book your tickets early for this popular sell-out Knebworth event.

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.

There is an opportunity to get creative! Bring along a pre-decorated pumpkin – there is a daily prize for the best one. [Tip – we’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. Disco starts around 4.00 pm and ends about 6.00 pm.

On arrival at 12.00 noon, 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 combined 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.

Ticket prices: Adults £3.50. Child (2-12) tickets £12.00 for Trail + Disco, or £6.75 for just the Trail.
