About this event
Pumpkin carving at Temple Newsam is a proper hands-on Halloween activity for families, taking place on Wednesday 29th October 2025. It's the kind of thing kids genuinely look forward to in the autumn half term, getting stuck in with a real pumpkin rather than just watching from the sidelines.
Temple Newsam itself is a brilliant setting for anything Halloween-related, a grand historic house on the edge of Leeds with plenty of atmosphere to spare. Pairing a craft session like this with a visit to the wider estate makes for a solid day out.
Keep an eye on the Temple Newsam website for booking details and any age guidance, as sessions like this tend to fill up quickly around half term. It's worth checking whether tools and pumpkins are included or whether you need to bring anything along.
