Suitable for children of all ages, there is a Face Painting Station and Craft Coven.

Wicked Spirits at Colchester Castle
Colchester Castle's latest exhibition is produced in partnership with the Museum of Witchcraft & Magic and sensitively brings to life the stories of those that suffered in one of the Castle's darkest periods, when is was used as a prison for those suspected of being a witch.
Entry to the exhibition is included in your general admission ticket to Colchester Castle, and they also have a multitude of seasonal activities on offer for kids and families throughout half term.
The Pumpkin Patch at Foxes Farm Produce
Pick Your Own Pumpkins at Foxes Farm, just in time for Halloween. Fun for all the family, and a very very cute photo oppotunity for the little ones!
Foxes Farm Produce have been growing and harvesting pumpkins for over 10 years and open their Pumpkin Patch in Aldham every year so you can pick your own, just 5 miles west of Colchester City Centre.
The spectacular annual fireworks display in Colchester's Castle Park returns in 2022, taking place on Guy Fawkes night itself - Saturday 5th November.
Alongside the impressive fireworks display there will be entertainment, and the parading of the guy. A perfect family evening out! (A very popular event - make sure to buy your tickets in advance online!)
Smaller fireworks events will be taking place in the towns and villages surrounding Colchester, so in the event that Castle Park's event sells out, check out our web listings for other local displays as an alternative.
