Mini Pumpkin Decorating at Chepstow Castle
Visitors enter the castle prison to pick out their own mini pumpkin before heading over to the decoration station. Pumpkins can be transformed into spooky Halloween creations using felt pens, stickers, and stick-on gemstones rather than messy carving tools. Once finished, participants can take their decorated pumpkin home.
