COSTUMES ENCOURAGED!
Head up to the terrace where you can smash your pumpkin onto the drop zone below. We added an extra pumpkin slide so you can spend more time doing and less time waiting. While you make your way to the front of the line, you will keep warm with complimentary hot chocolate and enjoy sweet treats, a view that can't be beat and the toasty vibes of our patio heat lamps.
Free pumpkins for the smashing, while they last!!!

Stay tuned to our social media channels, the pumpkins may still have a little growing to do and so too may our event.
This event is outside and as such is weather dependent.
The pumpkins at this event are locally sourced. Many would otherwise be unharvested for market or come from a failed crop, impacted by frost. None of the pumpkins smashed at this event will be painted, so they can be used for livestock feed.
