Halloween Half Term Fun at HAPPA

HAPPA (Horses and Ponies Protection Association) will be hosting a range of Halloween activities for families to enjoy this October half-term. 

Starting with The Café’s Poison Ivy Cocktail and Meal Evening, serving up a tasty three course meal, which will certainly be a treat.

Visitors to HAPPA will be able to take part in the Goblin’s Pumpkin Trail every day throughout the half-term.  Following the popularity of this fun activity last year, the Thursden Valley Goblins are back, but even bigger with a pumpkin patch adventure.  Pick up trail sheet and pumpkin.

HAPPA’s educational programme has a jam-packed fortnight with Own a Pony Day and Pony Grooming, a great way to come and learn all about how to care for a horse or pony correctly with interactive sessions.

​​​​​A special afternoon event will be held those who simply love Crafty Ponies, the interactive and cuddly pony toys.  With special guest, Echo, the real-life miniature pony, younger guests can learn more about Echo and then participate in a Favourite Film Fancy Dress Competition for them and their Crafty Pony.  For those wishing to add to their collection, or even start, there will be special offers on Crafty Ponies on the day at HAPPA Direct too.

There’s also something for the four-legged members of the family too, with the Novelty Dog Show, a fun show for pedigrees or mongrels with a great selection of prizes to be won, and Tricks and Treats, a mini-Halloween themed agility course, where dogs can show off their tricks and receive a treat.

Dig out your best Halloween costumes for the Halloween party for families.  Held in The Café, join the team for fun, games, and a Halloween disco, with prizes for the best children’s and adult’s fancy dress up for grabs.  A buffet is included in the ticket price and adults can bring their own bottle. 

Finally, for those on the later half-term holiday, Halloween crafting sessions will be held in the Activity Room.
