October Half Term at Pennywell (25th – 31st October)
Pumpkins, Piglets and Half Term Fun at Pennywell
October Half Term is fast approaching and Pennywell has lots of fun planned to make the week special for all the family. There’s nothing dark or spooky here as we focus on the treats rather than the tricks and celebrate Jollyween, Pennywell’s upbeat alternative to Halloween. Every child will have the opportunity to create a ‘Happy Pumpkin Face’ to take home with pumpkin carving taking place throughout the day. All your favourite Pennywell activities like ferret racing, piggy cuddles and bottle feeding will carry on in addition to special seasonal activities like pumpkin mask making, apple bobbing and seed planting. It all adds up to a day of fun, whatever the weather.
Additional entertainment will be provided by Nutty Noah on 25, 28 and 29th Oct with Ben Cornish on 26 and 27th Oct. There will also be two falconry displays every day either outside or in the Pennywell theatre depending on the weather. All the Pennywell animals will be hoping for their last cuddle of the season and there are plenty of the world famous Pennywell Miniature Piglets to get acquainted with. Run Rabbit Go Carts are for all children over eight and all the family will be given tickets to ride on the Rainbow Railway, Tractor and Trailer and the Red Rocket. The really great news is that everything is included in the admission price! Further information is on the website:
