00:00 I think it's just a lovely place here, you know, it's family based, there's family all
00:05 around, all the staff, you know, we're great friends and it's just one big community.
00:10 One thing that a lot of locals have been talking about is their screen park called Fear, which
00:15 has previously won awards and this year they are back in full force and bigger and better
00:21 than ever. Let's find out more about this Fear park.
00:26 My father's run the farm since '79 and we were a pick your own farm, largest pick your
00:32 own farm in the southwest and then that evolved into a country park which we run as well so
00:38 we have a wildlife park now. We have built and grown a huge pumpkin patch.
00:46 One thing about Avon Valley Country Park is they never do anything half-heartedly. Let's
00:52 find out more about this spooktastic season of evening events.
00:58 So expect a lot of screams, that is a lot of screams. Each different maze is just totally
01:06 different, it hits everyone's different fears. I mean so many people are scared of clowns,
01:09 whack yourself in a house of clowns, it's a nightmare. We've got Lefkoe which is nuns,
01:14 we've got the core which is all in the sewers, I mean it is so cool and it plays with all
01:20 your different senses and there's people that come in that think they are absolutely
01:25 you know fine and they do not get scared and they're the ones that jump out the door.
01:30 This year Avon Valley's Fear Park has been very popular with many of the sessions completely
01:36 selling out and this year there are more actors than ever including local students studying
01:43 theatre and acting at some of Bristol's colleges. They are all dressed up as a myriad of scary
01:51 characters.
01:54 So I'm in the exorcism which is the live experience which is horrendously horrible
01:59 but amazing. I mean I struggle to sit through it, it is so good.
02:04 Halloween is our busiest time of the year, we're going to see about 75,000 people come
02:08 to Avon Valley in the next four weeks which is crazy. 40,000 of them are going to be at
02:14 Pumpkin Patch, another 20,000 are going to be visiting Fear which is our adult Halloween
02:21 attraction.
02:22 Let's find out more about these spooktastic events.
02:25 So everyone comes in and there's huge fields as you can see just full of pumpkins. We've
02:30 got every different kind of pumpkin you can imagine, munchkins, moonshines, I mean whatever
02:36 you can imagine. And you come on in, choose your pumpkins. People are really surprised
02:42 because you turn up and expect just a pumpkin patch but that's not what we do here. It's
02:46 really important that you have a great day, we've got lovely staff, we've got characters
02:51 roaming and you can actually just have a really good day out.
02:55 It is fair to say that Avon Valley Country Park's line-up of autumn events is already
03:01 a success this year.
