kids pumpkin carving workshop
📅 Thursday, 29 October
⏰ 5:00pm
💲 $20 per child
🎟️ Bookings required – limited spaces
Let the kids get their hands dirty as they transform their very own pumpkin into a spooky Halloween creation to take home and display. With guidance from our friendly workshop facilitator, they’ll design, gut and carve their very own pumpkin.
Each booking includes a full pumpkin, use of carving tools and guidance throughout the 1.5-hour workshop.
This activity is recommended for school-aged children, and parental supervision is required as sharp carving tools will be used.
Spaces are limited and our pumpkin carving workshop is always popular, so we recommend booking early to avoid missing out.
