Halloween Activities for Kids at Welford Christmas Farm
In the heart of Northamptonshire, the Welford Christmas Tree Farm becomes a Halloween destination like no other, where the magic of the season meets the spookiness of Halloween. Whether you're searching for the perfect pumpkin, braving the spooky hunt, or simply savoring the cozy atmosphere, this farm embodies the very essence of Halloween, leaving you with cherished memories to last a lifetime.
During the months of October, the Welford Christmas Tree Farm takes on a new, slightly eerie allure. The farm's vast fields, home to neatly lined rows of Christmas trees, now acts as a Maze for their Spooky Hunt - with skeletons and ghosts around every corner and puzzles for the little ones to solve.
Let me show you around. It wont be difficult to see why this has become one of my favourite family traditions.

Spooky Hunt at Welford Christmas Tree Farm
Pick up your activity sheet before heading into the Maze, ensuring you are looking out for clues as you go.
As you weave around the Christmas trees, you’ll come across spooky encounters and clues dotted around the site.
Anagrams and Questions are to be solved by the little ones whilst the quiz also asks you to pumpkin count at each station.
Arts & Crafts Station
There is a mini arts and crafts station for your little ones to play. Last year, the station had pegs out on the table with decorations to design your own little person.
Pumpkin Picking
Pumpkin Crates are dotted around the site as well as the designated Pumpkin Patch.
Use the Wheel Barrows dotted around the site to help you and your little ones pick up your favourites and use it take those heavy ones back to the car.
The Tipi Hut
Once the spooky hunt is complete and your Pumpkins are picked, head over to the tipi hut for cake, hot chocolate and toasting marshmallows over the fire pit.
It really is the perfect outing for your little ones this Halloween Season and I highly recommend you take a visit if your ever in the area.
If Halloween isn’t your thing, head back during the Christmas Season, it really is a beautiful little site and one your little ones will love.
