Cattows Halloween Farm After Dark

[Ad- gifted experience] Cattows Halloween Farm is a massive pumpkin farm that we had gone to last year, to check out the fair rides and all of the pumpkins too. This year, they have a new event under the name Cattows Halloween Farm After Dark. It’s an after hours, illuminated event that brings Halloween to an entirely new level, as there is so many bright lights and spooky haunts for the whole family to enjoy.

Cattows Halloween Farm After Dark is massive! We entered through a large tent, full of Halloween decorations, and are greeted by the fairgrounds. These fairground rides do cost per ride, with no wristband option, but are quite reasonable in price per ride. Amelia and Kai were a bit too big for a few of the rides, but still found some really fun ones to go on. The fair is in the middle of the grounds, with the food trucks being at the back end of the area. This food village only had a few food stalls open, but you could get your classic burgers, fries, nuggets, donuts, etc from them.

This castle was up a hill – a little walk from the car park, so we made our way there after lunch, excited to take a look at the grounds and then inside castle. What we didn’t realize was just how large the grounds themselves are.

A Day Out at Cattows Halloween Farm

Though we have already taken the time to get our pumpkins and carve them up, we are still checking out Halloween activities, which include pumpkin patches. As we were traveling quite far for an event, we decided to stop off at Cattows Halloween Farm – a pumpkin patch and Halloween farm that we have never visited before. This place was big – like massive – and could have taken much more time then we actually had to spend there, which is very good to know for next year!
