Halloween Events at England's Vineyards

Published 21/09/2026

Halloween falls on 31 October, and English vineyards mark it with pumpkin picking, spooky trails and themed dinners, most of them across half-term. This guide lists the events vineyards have announced so far, updated as new ones are confirmed, along with some from last year to show what to expect.

What Makes a Vineyard Good for Halloween Events

Halloween at a vineyard comes in two kinds. In the daytime it is a family half-term outing built around pumpkins and trails. After dark it is a themed dinner, with the vines as the setting.

In previous years, the family days have centred on pumpkins. Essex's Skylark at Prettyfields has paired a pumpkin patch, where you pick one to carve at home, with a spooky vineyard trail, trail games and a scavenger hunt. Devon's Darts Farm, home of Pebblebed Vineyards, has held a Pumpkin Fest with tens of thousands of homegrown pumpkins, magic shows and marshmallow toasting. Kent's Elham Valley Vineyard has run a Halloween trail through half-term.

After dark, the themed dinners have leaned on atmosphere. West Sussex's Leonardslee has hosted a 1920s murder mystery three-course dinner at Halloween. North Yorkshire's Carlton Towers has held a gothic Halloween ball with dinner, dancing and a best-dressed prize, alongside a children's disco. Cornwall's Polgoon has run Vines & Souls, a night of torchlit vineyard strolls with mulled wine or cider and soup.

Halloween falls on 31 October, and most of these events have fallen in or near the late October half-term, with the busiest family days at weekends. They're ticketed, so it's worth booking as soon as dates are announced. Sign up for our emails below and we'll let you know as soon as events are listed.

FAQ

Which vineyards have Halloween events?
Vineyards that have held Halloween events include Leonardslee in West Sussex, Carlton Towers in North Yorkshire, Pebblebed at Darts Farm in Devon, Elham Valley in Kent, Skylark at Prettyfields in Essex and Polgoon in Cornwall. They're listed above, grouped by county, and we'll keep the guide updated as more are announced. You can sign up for our newsletter to hear about new dates as they're confirmed.
Which vineyards are best for Halloween events?
It depends on the kind of Halloween you want. For a dinner, start with our guide to vineyards with restaurants. If the children are coming, see the child-friendly vineyards. To make a night of it, vineyards with accommodation let you stay over.
Are vineyard Halloween events suitable for children?
Many of the daytime ones are built for them. Pumpkin Fest at Darts Farm has been a family day out, Skylark's pumpkin trail has sold tickets for adults and children with under 3s free, and Carlton Towers' Little Monsters Halloween Disco has been for children aged 2 and over. The Halloween ball and the murder mystery dinner are evening dinners rather than children's events. Check each listing for age guidance before you book.
Can I bring my dog to a vineyard Halloween event?
Some daytime events are dog friendly. Darts Farm's Pumpkin Fest has welcomed dogs on leads, as has Skylark's pumpkin trail. Evening dinners and balls are a different matter, so check with the vineyard before you book. For a daytime visit with your dog, see our dog-friendly vineyards.
