00:00 I started about six years ago as a bit of an activity to do with the kids.
00:08 I've got them involved building and it's time to spend with them.
00:11 We're always working so hard and you only leave the weekends for the kids.
00:16 Because I work nights, during the daytime if they're not after school they can come
00:20 and get involved.
00:23 So what we've noticed is Halloween is getting bigger and bigger and bigger and people want
00:29 it to be a bigger event.
00:31 So I would say it's increased 20-40% year on year as time has gone on the last five
00:36 or six years.
00:37 It's getting more Americanised but people like it because it can be a family event and
00:43 it sort of replaces having the fireworks at home and all the rest of it.
00:46 So people really buy into it.
00:48 It's a really good fun festive time for them.
00:55 We've got 100 different varieties of pumpkin squash and gourds here.
00:59 So every shape, size, colour that you can imagine.
01:03 We've got between 40-50,000 in total at each site.
01:10 We absolutely love Halloween here.
01:13 Having the families coming in, the children coming in, when they get in and see the fields
01:19 full of pumpkins, get their wheelbarrow, it's just the excitement on them.
01:24 Having photo opportunities, great for carving, great for eating.
01:29 It's just a really fun time in autumn weather.
