Clissmann Horse Caravans has unveiled its 2025 Halloween Pumpkin Patch experience, turning its Wicklow farm into an autumn wonderland full of festive fun for families, couples, and all who love Halloween magic. The event runs on weekends from 4th October through 31st October.

What to Expect: Pumpkin Picking, Donkeys, Trails & More
This ticket-only event invites visitors to roam the pumpkin fields, choose their ideal pumpkin, and partake in a variety of immersive activities across the farm.
Here’s a breakdown of the features:
Activity | Description |
Donkey Tour | Each visitor can lead a friendly donkey (equipped with a little rucksack) through the patch to find and carry their pumpkin. |
Wheelbarrow Tour | Instead of a donkey, visitors may choose to collect a wheelbarrow at the “Frightful Forge” Parking Garage and wheel pumpkins back themselves. |
Tractor Rides | New for 2025: scenic tractor rides around the farm. Cost is €3.50 per person (payable on the day; no pre-booking). |
Spooky Farm Trail | A child-friendly trail through themed zones: witches’ wagons, fairy forest, a ghoulish graveyard, and surprise “Halloween Cowboys.” |
Hocus Pocus Hay Barn | Barn games, Halloween-themed entertainment, photo zones, and a cozy space for breaks with seasonal refreshments (coffee, hot chocolate) via the Coffee Dock. |
Costumes & Photo Ops | Guests are encouraged to dress in Halloween costumes — there are many scenic, spooky backdrops across the farm for fun family photos and selfies. |
What’s included in your ticket
Entry to the Pumpkin Patch and access to the trails, barn games, and Halloween zones.
