The Blue Pool Halloween Haunt
Visitors can wander a woodland haunted trail filled with themed displays and music to solve the mystery of the cursed Pumpkin King and Queen with no jump scares. Guests can pick and carve pumpkins on site, join interactive circus sessions to practice juggling and plate spinning, or stop for face painting. Spooky workshops hosted by Dorset Wild Ones also offer hands-on crafting like potion brewing and broomstick making.
