Halloween Magic is Coming to The Blue Pool!

We are so excited to be working with The Blue Pool this October half term, bringing Dorset Wild Ones along for a whole week of magical, messy and creative Halloween workshops!

From Saturday 24th to Saturday 31st October, we’ll be joining the Halloween fun at this beautiful and atmospheric nature reserve in the heart of the Isle of Purbeck.

And what better place for a Halloween adventure?

Set within the 300-acre Furzebrook Estate, The Blue Pool is a truly magical place to explore, with woodland trails, wildlife, hidden enchanted doors, scenic viewpoints and the UK’s longest rope bridge.

A whole day of Halloween adventure

The Blue Pool is also hosting its Halloween Haunt from 24th–31st October, with a haunted woodland trail, eerie clues, pumpkin carving and Halloween activities. The experience is designed as family-friendly spooky fun without jump scares, making it suitable for little monsters as well as bigger ones.

So you could spend the day exploring the woodland, tackling the Halloween trail, crossing the rope bridge, enjoying the play area, grabbing something delicious in the Tearooms and getting creative with Wild Ones.

That’s a pretty brilliant October half-term day out!

Get creative with Wild Ones

We’ll be running a packed programme of Halloween workshops throughout the week, with activities changing throughout the day.

There’s something for every little witch, wizard, monster and maker:

• Broomstick Making
  Create your very own magical broomstick using natural materials.
• Clay Monsters
  Get your hands messy and sculpt a wonderfully weird Halloween monster.
• Potion Workshop & Slime Making
  Mix, stir and experiment with magical ingredients before getting stuck into some seriously satisfying slime.
• Spooky Lanterns
  Create a spooky lantern to take home and light up those dark autumn evenings.
• Sock Monsters
  Turn an ordinary sock into a brilliant little monster with a personality of its own.
• Wand Making
  Every witch and wizard needs a wand! Create and decorate your own magical spell-casting companion.
• Halloween Wreaths
  Make a spooky seasonal wreath using a mixture of natural and decorative materials.
• Needle Felt a Pumpkin
  Try your hand at needle felting and create your own little autumn pumpkin.
