Halloween Events In Birmingham 2026: Local Guide




1. Pumpkin Picking at Atwell Farm Park and Halloween At The Barn

  • Location: Attwell Farm Park and Halloween At The Barn 
  • When: October 2026
  • Price: from £4.50 per person 
  • Why we recommend: between Attwell Farm Park's spine-tingling scare maze and The Barn's pumpkin-filled fairground atmosphere, Birmingham's pumpkin patches are serving up the ultimate autumn adventure

If your autumn isn't complete without muddy boots, spiced lattes and a pumpkin (or three) to carve, then Birmingham's got some real treats in store this spooky season. Just outside the city, Attwell Farm Park in Redditch is transforming for its half-term Halloween spooktacular, with sprawling pick-your-own fields, ghost hunts, and even a haunted house. Kids can meet fluffy farm animals or creepy crawlies, while adults brave the evening scare maze that'll lead you through the rat run, sewer and torture barn (if you dare).

Meanwhile, Halloween At The Barn in nearby Meriden is bringing a full-blown autumn festival vibe, complete with an eco-skating rink, axe throwing, and a pumpkin patch stocked with every size from teeny to towering.
