ONE of North Wales’ favourite pumpkin events is back - and it’s bigger, brighter, and more magical than ever!

This October, Manorafon Farm Park in Abergele will once again transform into a glowing pumpkin paradise, as Pumpkin Fest 2025 brings a dazzling display of 16,000 pumpkins to the site.

What began as a simple pumpkin-carving activity has blossomed into one of the region’s most loved autumn traditions, attracting families from across North Wales, Cheshire, and beyond.

By day, visitors can explore the colourful Pumpkin Village, meet friendly walkabout characters, and find their perfect pumpkin to take home. As night falls, the magic truly begins — with Pumpkin Fest Nights, an after-dark spectacular featuring twinkling lights, immersive displays, and a delightfully spooky Halloween atmosphere.

“Pumpkin season just keeps growing — quite literally,” said Sacha Dudley, Marketing & Sales Manager.

“Everyone’s completely pumpkin-obsessed this year, so we’ve gone all out with new displays and an interactive light trail. It’s our biggest and most exciting Pumpkin Fest yet.”

Pumpkin Fest opened on October 11, with daytime and evening sessions running on selected dates throughout the month.
