Since we are still in the Coronavirus pandemic a lot of us will make the wise decision to stay home rather than going to overcrowded Halloween venues, but this doesn’t mean we can’t dress up!

Pumpkin picking is a fun activity for everyone to get involved in, from families with young children to friends looking for a day out with all the autumn feels. Pull on your Combat Boots and get wrapped up for a fun filled day in the outdoors.
