Pumpkins at Mount Congreve | PICTURE: Aspect Photography
Families and visitors alike can be rest assured that a fantastic Halloween awaits them at Mount Congreve Gardens, Waterford, from this Saturday, October 26 right up until Halloween.
The festive family fun features a spooky trail, where children can follow an activity sheet and take to the trails to discover the scary skeletons and ghastly ghouls who have invaded the gardens. Once the trail is completed, they can choose a small pumpkin to take home.
In addition to this, the gardens are home to a beautiful woodland playground on-site, where kids can swing, jump, and slide to their hearts desire.
The woodland space on Monty’s Lawn falls under a canopy of ancient trees offering a natural haven of basket and hammock swings, a climbing tower, tunnel slide, balance walk, seesaw and more.
