A Halloween adventure for the whole family
Follow our enchanting woodland trail, pick the perfect pumpkin and enjoy a day packed with autumn fun at High Lodge Farm.
This Halloween, our woodland trail is filled with ghostly displays, mischievous skeletons and magical surprises around every corner. Keep an eye out for familiar High Lodge characters, including the Monks of Abingdon, the Headless Man, Pumpkin King and the Wicked Witches of High Lodge and discover what spooky sights are hiding amongst the trees.
Your ticket also includes:
🎃 Pumpkin Patch & photo opportunities
🧙 Interactive 1km woodland trail
🏰 Play Patch with straw bales, giant sandpit, tractor and games
⛰️ Mud Mountain play area
🍬 A sweet treat for every child

Looking for something a little spookier? Join us for one of our Pumpkin Nights, where you can explore the trail after dark and experience Halloween at High Lodge Farm by twilight.
If spirits are you’re thing, then we’ll have lots being served in our Tipsy Toot bar - and not the scary sort! Enjoy a burger & chips and make a night of it.
Take a look through the gallery below to see why High Lodge Farm has become one of Oxfordshire's favourite Halloween family days out.
