Halloween Fun at Flag Fen
Prepare for an unforgettable Halloween adventure at Flag Fen Archaeology Park this October half term! Wander through an enchanted forest to pick your perfect pumpkin, then get creative by carving it or designing a scarecrow for the gallery. Unleash your inner witch or wizard with a broomstick-making workshop, and explore the Fairytale Scarecrow Trail. Search the roundhouse for missing spell pages to help restore Wenzel the Wizard's magic, and round off the day by toasting marshmallows over a fire. Capture seasonal memories at the photo area.
