Halloween Half Term 2024! What a blast the last week (and week before for the big kids) has been! We may have got off to a rocky start but we made the most of it hence forth and had so much fun picking pumpkins, having days out, seeing friends and enjoying our time together. My Father in law came and helped Jonny put a shower over our bath, we hosted a fantastic Murder Mystery evening for the grown ups and […]
Pensthorpe Pumpkin Festival! From the 25th of October until the 3rd of November, for the whole of a Norfolk half term, Pensthorpe is celebrating all things spooky season with its brand new pumpkin festival! Though the clever chaps at our family fave, Pensthorpe, have been offering pumpkins and a carving station during Halloween week for a few years, their new pumpkin patch is a first for the 2024 season for them, and we, in turn, got to be some of […]

I used some of the things I had left over from the party we had and others I made especially for the day! I got a kick out […]
A Halloween Party! When it comes to a Halloween party I do tend to stick to the same formula, lots of games which are the tricks for the kids to compete and take part in, in order to win the treats which are the prizes!
