Visit Rushden Lakes’ Pumpkin Patch this October

Carve out some time to visit Rushden Lakes’ Pumpkin Patch on Monday 28th October. Between 11am and 4pm, pumpkins of all shapes and sizes will decorate Central Boulevard for the first time.

The destination has joined forces with Odin Events to run the inaugural activity, which promises to be perfect for children aged 3 years and over. The mini pop-up is a great way to entertain little ones with a Halloween-themed treat, without any scary surprises.

Donna French, Centre Manager at Rushden Lakes, said; “We’re excited to welcome Rushden Lakes visitors to our Pumpkin Patch. This type of activity has increased in popularity over the past few years, so we wanted to join the fun and offer our visitors a convenient way to visit a patch as part of a family day out.”

Tickets priced at just £1.20 plus a booking fee will be available to buy from Tuesday 1st October. Two accompanying adults are permitted per booking into the patch for free, and only those picking a pumpkin require a ticket.

At the patch, ticketholders will have the opportunity to head to the decoration station, to customise their spooktacular pumpkin. Remember to take lots of photos, and tag @rushdenlakessc or use #MyRushdenLakes on lnstagram for a chance to be featured on Rushden Lakes’ page.

The Wildlife Trust will also be on hand with information about its Halloween activities and events, as well as pumpkin recipes and tips to reduce food waste. From midday, Groundwork Northants will be delivering live cooking demonstrations, with Pumpkin Enchiladas being the star of the show.

But the Halloween fun doesn’t stop there. From Thursday 24th October until Thursday 31st October, shoppers are invited to take part in the destination’s Monster Trail. Collect a trail sheet from Customer Services and complete the activity to claim a Halloween-themed sticker and notebook and be entered into a fangtastic competition.
