Aberdeen – FAQs
This event is aimed at younger children aged 0-14 and tickets are required for all in this age group.Adults accompanying children are free and do not require a ticket.
Children go guising around our four wee houses. Meeting the characters and telling them a joke in exchange for a sweet or small gift. They will meet a witch (friendly) who will tell a story and then they get to pick a pumpkin from our pumpkin patch. Additional extras such as roasted marshmallows or extra pumpkins are available for an extra charge.
It would be great if the kids come in fancy dress but no pressure. It might get muddy though so bring wellies!
