Spookfest is part of the programme at Church Farm Ardeley, a working farm with a cafe, farm shop and woodland play near Stevenage in Hertfordshire. "Come and meet the animals and enjoy wonderful rustic creepy fun! Geared towards families so 'spooky' rather than 'terrifying'."

- A Halloween activity pack, puzzles, colouring and stickers for the best dressed
- Optional extras booked on top: pick your own pumpkin and carve it in the marquee, Woodland Trick or Treating, Ghoulish Goat Walking or a trailer ride
