About Halloween Fun at The Rare Breeds Centre

Join us this Halloween for heaps of spooky fun, silly suprises and fang-tastic activities for all ages!

Effel Fartwaffer is back once again, bringing plenty of Halloween fun and mischief to the farm for another spooktacular event.

What's On during the weekdays:

Trick or Treat Trail

Children can join Effel on a fun-filled Halloween trail around the farm. Young adventurers will visit six themed stations, receiving either a trick or a treat at each stop along the way.

The trail will lead families through a variety of spooky scenes, including a witches’ den, dragon’s lair, spider zone, skeleton area, ghosty area, and a swamp.

Packed with surprises, interactive encounters, and plenty of Halloween magic, this exciting experience will take place at 10:30am, 11:30am, and 12:30pm.

This activity will be an additional cost and will need to be booked before your visit.

Interactive UV Disco

Join Effel Fartwaffer and friends for an interactive UV Spooky Disco in the Cattle Barn at 2:30pm.

Featuring Halloween-themed music and UV lighting this family-friendly activity gives children the chance to dance, have fun and enjoy some light-hearted spooky entertainment as part of their day at the farm.

Whats on during the weekends

At weekends, visitors can keep an eye out for Effel Fartwaffer as she roams around the farm. Be sure to stop and say hello, and don’t miss the chance to snap a photo with everyone’s favourite spooky lady.

The Halloween fun continues at 2:30pm, when the doors to the Cattle Barn open for the Interactive UV Disco. Join Effel and friends for a lively mix of music, dancing and family-friendly Halloween entertainment.

The farm will be decorated for Halloween with spooky decorations across the site, creating the perfect setting for a frightfully fun day out.
