There's fun for all the family this October half-term in Bath, including crafty activities at some of the city's top attractions, special events, outdoor trails, huge pumpkin patches ripe for the picking, and thrilling days out for Halloween.

Head outside of the city centre and pick your perfect pumpkin at Avon Valley Adventure Park, and don't miss Wookey Hole's annual spooktacular, where you can explore the famous cave network, meet the legendary Wookey witch, follow a vampire trail, and enjoy spooky shows in the 4D cinema.

Outdoor adventures

Feel the satisfying rustle of fallen leaves underfoot by heading out on one of the many outdoor trails in and around Bath this half-term.

A visit to Westonbirt Arboretum is a must as always, with its glorious displays of autumn colour. This year, there are two brand new trails to follow through the Old Arboretum that are sure to fire up younger visitors' imaginations; the 'Art of Autumn,' where they'll learn how to use nature as their canvas, from tree dressing to leaf art, and 'Drawn to Nature,' inviting them to capture the textures, shapes and stories of the trees in sketch form. 

Elsewhere at Prior Park Landscape Garden, Dyrham Park, and Bowood, you'll find themed trails to complete as you wander across their beautiful grounds.

Bath's many parks and gardens are the perfect place to go for an autumnal walk and admire the colourful foliage.
