Customer testimonials
We were lucky enough to win tickets to Over Farms opening day for Spookyard. What a great day out it was! My girls loved searching for the scarecrows around the farm and collecting their prize at the end of the day. The Halloween decorations around the farm were amazing, they have really gone all out to create the best halloween experience! There were lots of food options available, the Bella Mia pizza’s were delicious. They had a face painter there who did some fab designs ( this was an extra charge but definitely worth it! ) Thank you Over Farm’s Countryside Adventure for a fantastic day. I would highly recommend to anyone and we will definitely be back!
Visited Over Farm Spookyard Yesterday and had an amazing day out with our 2 year old Grandson. There was so much to do. He loved the pumpkin Maze , live spooky show, bounce pillows , woodland walk, animals and of course the tractor ride 🚜 . Such a great day

Every day at 11:00, 13:00 and 15:00
Those endless A40 roadworks have dug up something they definitely weren’t expecting… ZOMBIES!

Luckily, they’ve found some clever people with working brains… You! Join these deceased dudes for games, dancing, shouting and silly challenges as you help save the day, save Gloucester and stop the world coming to a very Dead End!
The Gloucester Apocalypse! will be at 11am, 1pm and 3pm every day through Spookyard.
Drop Dead Gorgeous Fancy Dress Competition
12:20
It wouldn’t be Spookyard without lots of little witches, monsters, ghosts and ghouls showing off their frightfully fabulous fancy dress! So dig out your spookiest, silliest or most spectacular outfit (you too, grown-ups!) and join Dead Ed and Ronnie Rotten for our Drop Dead Gorgeous Fancy Dress Competition. There’ll be creepy categories, plenty of posing and prizes for some of our most fang-tastic costumes!

The (Kick the) Bucket List!
12:00, 14:00
Dead Ed and Ronnie Rotten have been underground for years, so they’ve got rather a lot of catching up to do! Now these two Dead Beats are determined to make the most of their afterlife by completing everything on their (Kick the) Bucket List. Expect ridiculous games, zombie dancing and plenty of chances to join in as they tick off their long-forgotten ambitions. And naturally, no zombie bucket list would be complete without one very famous zombie dance… You know what to do!
The (Kick the) Bucket List! will run at 12pm and 2pm every day.
