A 12,500-acre organic farm estate will host a six-day Halloween programme.

Rhug Estate near Corwen, North Wales, has up to 3,000 pumpkins ready for picking and a range of activities planned.

Following the success of last year's Halloween celebrations, the estate aims to attract thousands of visitors from across North Wales and beyond.

The events, which will start on Saturday, October 26, will include Rhug's first-ever Pumpkin Festival and a series of special guests.

Lord Newborough, Rhug Estate owner, said: "Last year’s Halloween celebrations were so popular we decided to do more for our loyal customers and visitors this autumn.

"The organic pumpkin picking was a huge hit with families, so we have introduced further activities across the estate, to make it an even more fun – and frightening – experience."

The team from Animal Encounters will host 'Face Your Fears' workshops, featuring creepy crawlies, reptiles, and spiders.

Other activities include foraged fun sessions by Living Wild’s Witches and Webs, ghastly games, and a frightening twist on the farm walk.

There will also be warm treats such as monstrous marshmallows and horrific hot chocolate available from the award-winning shop, café, On the Hoof takeaway, and drive-thru.

Visitors will have the chance to craft their own witch’s broom, magic wand, spider’s web, or ghosts and ghouls.

Emyr Owen, estate farm manager, added: "There will be lots to keep children and parents entertained, so we look forward to welcoming people for a spooky and unforgettable half-term at Rhug."

On arrival, signs will guide visitors from the car park and farm shop to the pumpkin patch and attractions.

An activities sheet and map will be available from the farm shop.

Booking is only required for the workshops, not the pumpkin picking.
