The Best Halloween Activities to Do During Half Term

There are plenty of tricks and treats at Stockeld Park this October half-term. Between 25th October and 2nd of November (2025), we’re hosting spine-shivering Halloween events and activities for the whole family to enjoy. 

Go pumpkin picking, walk through our haunting Halloween trail or get lost in our monster maze… Are you ready for a thrilling adventure? 

What’s in Store for Your Fang-Tastic Halloween Day Out 

Pumpkin Picking at Stockeld Estate

This year, we’ve grown our pumpkins on the Stockeld Estate, so you’re guaranteed the best Yorkshire has to offer! This Halloween activity begins with a trip on our tractor-trailer ride, which departs near the Enchanted Forest. If you prefer to walk, it’s just under ten minutes away, so you don’t have to go far.

Upon arrival, you can head to the fields and select the perfect pumpkin. There are lots to choose from, including some more unique varieties on offer. Every pumpkin will come with a small charge, so be sure to choose the right shape and size for easy carving when you get home. 

We’ll have plenty of photo opportunities around our pumpkin patch, as well as a jolly live-action Scarecrow who is guaranteed to bring a smile. Once you’re done, grab a hot or cold drink at our refreshment cabin before hitching a ride back to our adventure park.  

The Spooky Woodland Witches Trail 

Follow four Woodland Witches on our interactive story trail located across the magical Enchanted Forest. As you journey through, you’ll come across the witches’ spellbinding shops where your little ones can take part in an activity. 

If you’re brave enough to put your bewitching skills to the test, you’ll receive a stamp to go in a spooky trail sheet provided on entry. Make sure to hand your completed sheet to our gift shop to be entered into a prize draw. All details will be announced soon!

Monster Maze 

Our Magical Maze is full of fun surprises! Ten loveable monsters are hiding amongst the twists and turns, trying their best not to be found. Can you spot them all?

Keep your eyes peeled – there might be some sneaky secrets waiting around the corners, too!

Zombie Laser Experience

Ready to go head-to-head in a laser tag game? Located deep in our spooky woodland area, this thrilling experience is complete with obstacles, shelters and zombie-themed elements to get everyone ready for battle.

Zombie laser tag includes a quick safety briefing and two 10-minute laser games, totalling 30 minutes. Don’t forget to wear sensible footwear and clothing so you can run, hide, and fire with ease!

Outdoor & Indoor Play Areas

If your little adventurers still have energy to burn, our outdoor playgrounds dotted around the Enchanted Forest are great to run wild. The spookiest spot of all is the Spider’s Lair, which includes a multi-storey treehouse complete with zip wires and a giant climbing net.

Want even more adventure? Add the Playhive to your ticket for unlimited or fixed-time access to our incredible indoor play space. With four themed worlds to explore – and a HUGE helter-skelter to whizz down – it’s playtime like no other!
