On this afternoon before Halloween, you can complete your decorations for the spooky nights with us. We will give you ideas for patterns and help you with the execution. Or you can contribute your own ideas! Tools and pumpkins are already on site.
At 17:00 we will then choose the scariest and the friendliest pumpkin! The winner will receive a little surprise.
We allocate a number of places every hour, so please send us a request with your preferred time.
