Patrons and their pets will be able to take selfies at canine photographic booths, choose from thousands of pumpkins, or navigate the chilling maize maze.

Visitors can let their artistic sides out in carving sessions where kids and adults alike can create their own pumpkin masterpieces.

Members can carve at no cost while non-members can take part for a fee of £3 per person.

There will also be snacks, treats and trinkets to take home, with visitors able to enjoy discounts at The Ox Shed Restaurant and shop.

Dogs can get involved with treats available at the food outlets.

The new 'Pumpkin Nights' will be held on October 5, 12, 19, and 26-31.
