With autumn now in full swing, that can only mean one thing… Halloween is around the corner.
So with Halloween nearly here, we have rounded up a wide variety of activities for everyone to get involved in and enjoy.
Whether you’re a daredevil who loves a fright, or you would rather have a relaxing stroll round a pumpkin patch, there is something for everyone.
Below are eight spooky (or not so spooky) things to do in Northamptonshire this Halloween.
5. Spooky family pumpkin hunt at Welford
A nice and relaxing day out with a spooky twist for all of the family to enjoy at Welford Christmas Tree Farm. Running from the October 22 to October 31 from 10am until 5pm.
