Cattows Farm has turned into one giant Halloween festival, with over 100,000 pumpkins, a brand new Zombie World, a Halloween roller disco and a Lost World of Dinosaurs hidden in the maize.

ACTIVITY ALLEY

🌽 - Room on the Broom Corn Maze - A Zoo Day With a Puzzle Built In!
📍 - Twycross Zoo
📅 - Mon 26th Oct to Sun 1st Nov
⏰ - Daily, 10:00am to 5:00pm
🎟️ - £5 per child (zoo entry extra)
📷 - @twycrosszoo

Twycross Zoo has planted a corn maze based on Julia Donaldson's Room on the Broom, with sweets to collect in your own tote bag, the Witch to find along the way and a broomstick photo spot at the finish.

Add it onto a normal zoo day and the week suddenly has a plan. Bring a jumper, because corn mazes in late October are colder than they look on the website.

💰 - FOR SALE £725,000
📍 - Green Farm Court, Anstey

A four bedroom barn-style home in a gated conservation area between Anstey and Newtown Linford, with a vaulted open plan kitchen and living space, a wood-burning stove and Bradgate Park on the doorstep.

The garden room has been turned into a bar, next to a pergola built to take a six-seater hot tub. Your friends will suddenly remember where you live.
