Halloweden transforms the Eden Project for October half-term with pumpkin displays, spooky-themed trails, autumn installations, and seasonal activities across the biomes and outdoor gardens. The event runs for nine days, covering the full half-term week.
Activities are designed for families - expect carved pumpkins, themed storytelling, and seasonal planting activities alongside the Eden Project’s permanent exhibitions. The biomes provide cover from autumn weather, making this a reliable half-term option regardless of the forecast.
All Halloweden activities are included in standard Eden Project admission - no extra charge. The Eden Project sits near St Austell and is one of Cornwall’s most visited attractions year-round.
