Halloween PumpkinFest
Daily from Saturday 24 October to Sunday 1 November 2026. Halloween at Fairhill is interactive and nature-immersed: rather than crowded pavements and indoor shopping centres, the festivities happen under a lush subtropical rainforest canopy.

Pumpkin Carving & Crafts
A dedicated station where families carve real pumpkins together, and your pumpkin comes home with you afterwards. It is the part everyone remembers, and there is nothing else quite like it nearby.
The Haunted Barn
New this year. The Spooky Trail is open for exploration, if you dare.
Trick-or-Treat Trail
Prizes for everyone in costume, with a costume parade around the bonfire at the end of the day.
Forest Fairy Trail Treasure Hunt
A themed magical quest that weaves through the towering native tree canopies and the secret garden pathways.
Spooky Campfire Stories
Gather around a real campfire inside the gardens at the end of the day for spooky, family-friendly ghost stories.
Animal Farmyard Interaction
Ranger-led sessions where you can hold baby chicks, feed the guinea pigs and take our miniature Pygmy goats for a walk.
Farm-to-table dining with Halloween specialties
The Fairhill Gardens Café serves seed-oil-free meals, gluten free Loaded Fries, local craft beers and specialty coffees in a tranquil rainforest setting, with Halloween specialties on through the festival.
