October Half Term and Bonfire Night
Pumpkin Carving at Brockholes
Pumpkin carving is a fantastic way to celebrate the autumnal season with the whole family! Join us at Brockholes and pick your perfect pumpkin from our patch before letting your creativity take over as you beautifully carve your chosen one.
Bonfire Night at Brockholes
Join us for a unique and magical Bonfire Night celebration at Brockholes Nature Reserve! New for 2024, this wildlife-friendly event is perfect for little ones who love nature but may not enjoy the usual noisy festivities. No fireworks and no loud rides—just plenty of eco-friendly activities in a peaceful, natural setting.
Christmas at LWT
Our Winter Fayre is back at Brockholes for another year, bringing you the magic of a traditional Christmas for all the family. Our floating village will be transformed into a winter wonderland and you'll be handed a free hot drink to enjoy whilst you take in the Christmas light displays, live music and ambience. Santa will be on his sleigh, ready to say hello, and you can try your hand at our traditional fun fair games tin can alley and hook a duck. Live music will play as you explore the market stalls for unique, local gifts, or even get crafty during an eco craft session. And of course don’t miss the Christmas light switch on!
Join us for our fantastic Winter Fayre: it's the perfect way to kickstart your seasonal celebrations.
