We know the Halloween Pumpkin Trail has become a much-loved tradition for so many families in our community, attracting thousands of visitors each year. It’s always a highlight in the calendar, and we’re so grateful for the enthusiasm, creativity, and joy it brings.
After much thought, we’ve decided that the Pumpkin Trail will take a break in 2025. The event is entirely organised and run by volunteers, and it takes many weeks of preparation, set-up, and clear-up. Our team, our site, and our dedicated helpers all deserve a well-earned rest.
But don’t worry – the Pumpkin Trail will be back in 2026! We’ll return refreshed, re-energised, and ready to make it a magical event once again.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support – we can’t wait to welcome you back in 2026.
