The nights are getting shorter and darkness is descending upon us, which can only mean that Halloween is just around the corner! We’ve always been able to cater for adults during the Halloween period, with the roaring successes of Fright Night and Zombie Run. We did seem to be missing a key demographic, though, kids! Why should adults have all the fun at Spooky Season? Thus, Hallowee’uns was born!
Hallowee’uns is specifically for younger kids and their families, and this year is on course to be our biggest and best yet. We’d like to invite your own little monsters and demons to join us at The Jungle, and experience a Halloween extravaganza filled with weird, wicked and wonderful activities. You can expect some classic Halloween activity at our Pumpkin Patch, where you’ll be able to pick and carve your very own pumpkin. Perhaps less traditionally (definitely less traditionally), you’ll have the chance to go on a Haunted Haycart Ride, where our own wicked witch will tell spooky stories as you travel around The Jungle grounds. While fancy dress isn’t mandatory, it is very much encouraged, and we’ll have a number of spot prizes being given out for the best costumes.
Aside from Halloween activities, we’ll also have some classic Jungle activities running, including Archery, Climbing Wall, Rodeo Bull, Bungee Trampolines and Paintball Target Shooting.
The most important part of any day out at The Jungle is always the Activities on offer. For Hallowee’uns, we have a good blend of traditional Halloween fun and traditional Jungle fun! Every Kids ticket comes with one Pumpkin Token (exciting) and four additional tokens which can be spent on the different activities on offer.
Every child will get to pick their own pumpkin and carry it to one of our work stations, where we’ll have a member of staff on hand ready and waiting to cut off the top of the pumpkin. The kids are then free to scoop the pumpkins out and draw a scary face on. Then they’ll bring their pumpkin back to the work station (really getting our money’s worth from these work stations) where our staff member will carve their design out and return it so your home can be blessed with a charming and tasteful Halloween decoration! Disclaimer: Charming and tasteful Halloween decoration not guaranteed.
I challenge you to find another Haunted Haycart. Jump on for a ghoulish journey around The Jungle – you’ll find our resident witch on board, ready and waiting to share some spooky tales until you’re ready to get off.
Pop into one of our BBQ Huts to toast some delicious marshmallows; if you’re not in the Halloween spirit before this, you’re sure to be afterwards.
Other activities available on the day will include:
Hallowee’uns will operate similarly to one of our Family Fun Days, with the exception of the Pumpkin Token which can, strangely, only be used for a Pumpkin. The four regular tokens each child receives can be used on any of the above activities, and if you need more tokens they will be on sale for £3 each or six for £15.
Adult tickets are £7.50 – this permits you entry to the park, you can buy tokens for activities when here if required.
Kids tickets are £20 – this includes entry, one Pumpkin Token, and four additional activity tokens.
