They say never work with animals or children. This was especially true at Folly Farm this week when one of its staff tried to film some spooky videos for Halloween with the zoo’s fury residents. Although the animals weren’t exactly playing ball, and one lemur even fancied himself as a cameraman, we still think the outtakes will give you a giggle.

If you want to entertain your little monsters this Halloween, Folly Farm will be holding freaky facepainting, a spooky scarecrow prize trail and card hunts throughout half term.

For those brave enough, there is also a ghoulish ghost train in the park’s funfair – take a ride if you dare!

All the information on timings and activities will be available on the park guides and blackboards at Folly Farm each day throughout October half term.

Rides and face painting are subject to a reasonable additional charge.
