Weird Geese & Halloween Trail at Mersehead

Strange sounds and creepy features, explore the trail for spooky creatures!

Follow our Halloween activity trail to create your own spell, discover some mystery and magic about nature, while creating your own potion! Who knows what weird and wonderful things you will experience? With some activities on mysterious facts about our special Barnacle Geese too.

Mmwhaaaahhh! If you're lucky, there might be some spider legs, hares' ears, bat lairs or tiny unicorn horns around the reserve too! So, keep your eyes peeled!

Booking not essential, you can drop in any time on dates when this event takes place.

Please note that, all children must be accompanied by adults. Additional car park charge applies for non-RSPB members.

Mersehead Reserve is also a place that is prone to flooding in wet weather. So, it's worth checking our updates on Facebook (@RSPBMersehead) to check that we are open before you visit, to avoid disappointment.

Cost: £4.00 per activity pack
