Things to do in Leicester & Leicestershire this Halloween 

Like everything else this year, Halloween is going to look slightly different this year as we continue to adapt to the ‘new normal’. Although we can’t enjoy the usual shenanigans that come with Halloween there are still plenty of ways to enjoy the spooky season with your family safely. It’s the perfect opportunity to discover local attractions right on your doorstop. Here are a few Spooktacular ways you and the family can still have some fun at Halloween

Pumpkin picking

Enjoy a day out pumpkin picking at Cattows Farm with over 170,000 plump pumpkins to choose from. You’ll find different varieties including warty Goosebump pumpkins, white varieties called snowman, snowball and ghost and the ever-popular mini munchkins. All you have to do is pick your pumpkin, take them to the shop and pay.

Not for the faint hearted

This is an event not to be missed but be warned its not for the faint hearted. The Xtreme Scream Park is an adult only event hosted by Twinlakes and voted the UK’s official number 1 Scare Park by Scarelon. There are 5 fun haunted houses including Ash Hell Penitentiary, Hoo Doo Voo Doo and new for 2020 is Belvoir Manners. Dare to visit?
