Join in the annual Pumpkinfest at Castleward on Saturday 26 and Sunday 27 October for a fabulous autumn adventure.

Pick, scoop and carve a pumpkin, enter a scarecrow into the scarecrow competition and solve the clues on the trail.

Select one of over 2,000 pumpkins and draw your own spooky face or design a totally different artistic creation. The top will be sliced off for you, and then it’s time to get a little messy! Head over to the scooping station to make sure your gourd is ready for carving.  It’s your turn to show off your skills. Get busy carving your own design no messy bits to clear up!!  Just a special pumpkin to take home.
