Have a spooky time at Godinton House Pumpkin Day

Godinton House and Gardens, Kent

Pumpkin day will see a variety of family activities including the traditional carving of pumpkin lanterns, craft activities, a seasonal treasure hunt around the grounds of Godinton and the ever-popular scary stories in the cellars. A Harris Hawk and a rare Chaco Owl will be on display.

The Pumpkin has many uses so if you want to make a pumpkin pie or roast the seeds then choose from the selection of pumpkins and gourds that will be for sale.

Nick Sandford, the manager of the Godinton Estate said: “The gardens are stunning, with an array of autumnal colours. Godinton has been enjoying having so many visitors this year and Pumpkin Day has become a traditional way to end the season. It is a great way for parents and children to enjoy the activities.”

The tearoom will be open with a selection of homemade cakes, snacks and drinks available.

Gates open 11am-4pm, Entrance is £4 for adults and £2 for children. Some activities are free, for others there is a small additional charge.
