Spooktacular fun will descend on Sleaford, with the town’s Pumpkin Fest set to take place in the Market Place on Saturday 25 October.
North Kesteven District Council’s Halloween celebration will run from 11am to 4pm, encouraging families to dress up and enjoy a day of autumnal fun and excitement.
The day will include a Pumpkin Patch, from which visitors can collect one of 200 free pumpkins, whilst pumpkin carving stencils can be crafted at the event to take home to make a masterpiece.
Sleaford Pumpkin Fest will also include walkabout entertainment, free face painting and craft activities, Morris dancing performances, and a live pumpkin carving demonstration inspired by the Sleaford Wyvern – a mythical dragon-like creature with two legs, two wings and a pointed tail.
Visitors will also have the chance to meet the Sleaford Wyvern in person.
The silly pair ‘Trick and Treat’ will perform comedic tricks at the event, with their ‘wonderful wagon of weirdness’. There will also be games such as Giant Jenga, noughts and crosses, and a spooky version of hoopla.
